Elmira White

HC-84

Elmira White is a light greige that combines gray and beige undertones, leaning slightly warm without strong yellow or pink pulls. It has an LRV of 64.67, making it a solid light neutral that reflects ample light while maintaining visible color on the wall. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens as a primary wall color.

For same-brand pairings, Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Balboa Mist create a tonal neutral palette. Chelsea Gray or Kendall Charcoal provide darker contrast, and Woodlawn Blue adds a cool accent.

Elmira 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.
