Benjamin Moore

Cream

2159-60

Cream is a warm off-white with blended yellow and orange undertones that give it a soft, golden cast. Its LRV of 81.46 makes it highly reflective, so it will brighten most rooms noticeably while still reading warmer than a pure white. It performs consistently across natural and artificial light sources.

For a tonal pairing, Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White sit closely in value. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal create strong contrast when used on trim, cabinetry, or accent elements.

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.
