Benjamin Moore

Candle Light

Candle Light is a very light warm neutral with apricot undertones. Its LRV of 76.53 keeps it bright while maintaining a soft tint. It is suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, or ceilings where a warm white is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois or Pale Oak for a tonal scheme. Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, or Saybrook Sage add controlled contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Candle Light in Different Light
