Benjamin Moore

Decorator's White

CC-20 / PM-3, OC-149

Decorator's White is a clean white with a cool gray undertone that prevents it from reading yellow or cream under most lighting conditions. With an LRV of 82.68, it reflects a high percentage of light and will maintain brightness on walls, trim, and ceilings. The gray cast keeps it from appearing stark while still functioning as a true white in most applications.

It is well suited for modern or minimalist spaces where a neutral white is needed. Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include Gray Owl, Silver Chain, Stonington Gray, Hale Navy, and Wrought Iron.

Decorator's White 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.
