Benjamin Moore

Crème Fraiche

2023-70

Crème Fraiche is a very pale hue built on a soft green base with a subtle citrus undertone that keeps it from reading as a plain white. With an LRV of 87.75, it reflects a high amount of light and maintains an open, airy quality on walls and ceilings. The slight yellow-green shift gives it a mild freshness distinct from standard warm whites.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Soft Fern, Hazy Skies, Hale Navy, and Golden Straw, fitting comfortably into both modern and traditional palettes.
