Benjamin Moore

Creamy Custard

1145

Creamy Custard by Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone neutral with blended orange and yellow undertones that give it a warm, slightly rich appearance. It registers an LRV of 44.9, which places it in the medium-reflectance range, noticeably deeper than most off-whites or light beiges. The color reads as a saturated warm tan rather than a pale cream.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Lenox Tan, Chestertown Buff, Hale Navy, Atrium White, and Ballet White. It is appropriate for kitchens, living rooms, and dining spaces where a grounded warmth is needed.

Creamy Custard 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.
