Benjamin Moore

Cream Silk

2146-60 / OC-115

Cream Silk by Benjamin Moore is a pale, airy shade with subtle lemon and lime undertones that give it a faintly green-yellow cast. It carries an LRV of 84.08, making it highly reflective and effective at brightening a space. The color sits near white but retains a quiet freshness from its citrus leanings.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter for a layered neutral palette. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can provide stronger contrast, while Spring Meadow reinforces its green undertone.
