Benjamin Moore

Cream Fleece

233

Cream Fleece by Benjamin Moore is a warm, light sand neutral with soft yellow undertones that give it the muted quality of undyed wool. It has an LRV of 63.81, providing moderate light reflectance that keeps a room bright without washing out surrounding furnishings. The color reads as a grounded off-white with enough depth to stand on its own.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Fernwood Green, allowing for both tonal and contrasting schemes.

Cream Fleece 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.
