Benjamin Moore

Crème Brulee

2022-70

Crème Brulee is a bright, creamy yellow with a high LRV of 87.6, meaning it reflects most of the light that hits it. The yellow is soft and warm rather than saturated, carrying gentle undertones that keep it from reading as bold or intense. It registers as a tinted white in many lighting conditions, with just enough color to add warmth.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Hale Navy, Cedar Key, and Palladian Blue. It is well suited to kitchens and naturally lit rooms.

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.
