Benjamin Moore

Eggshell

2026-70

Eggshell is a very light yellow-green with subtle lemon and lime undertones. It has an LRV of 87.65, reflecting a high percentage of light and functioning close to white in most conditions. The green-yellow cast distinguishes it from pure whites and warm creams, giving it a slightly cool, crisp appearance.

It works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces that benefit from maximum light reflection. Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Heron, Simply White, Chelsea Gray, Kendall Charcoal, or Palladian Blue.
