Benjamin Moore

Country White

898

Country White is a warm off-white with subtle peach undertones that keep it from reading as stark or cool. Its LRV of 80.21 means it reflects a high amount of light, making it functional as a near-white for full rooms, trim, or ceilings. The slight orange warmth becomes more apparent in north-facing light or alongside cooler tones.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Manchester Tan for a layered warm-neutral scheme. Hale Navy offers strong tonal contrast, while Pink Damask draws out the peach base and Pale Avocado provides a soft complementary green.

Country White 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.
