Benjamin Moore

Calcite

CW-110

Calcite is a creamy pale white with neutral-warm undertones. With an LRV of 81.93, it is very light and reflective. It works on walls, ceilings, or trim where a soft white is required.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for a layered white scheme. Palladian Blue, Wedgewood Gray, or Kendall Charcoal add controlled contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
