Benjamin Moore

Birmingham Cream

164 / TH-110

Birmingham Cream is a warm sandy cream with a slight orange undertone. An LRV of 70.05 keeps it light while retaining color on the wall. It suits living rooms, dining areas, or kitchens that need a warm neutral.

White Dove and Maritime White keep trim and ceilings crisp, while Pale Moon and Weston Flax maintain a tonal scheme. Hale Navy or Dark Olive provide deeper contrast.

Birmingham Cream in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
