Benjamin Moore

Feather Down

953 / OC-6

Feather Down is an off-white that shifts toward beige, carrying subtle warm undertones without strong yellow or pink bias. Its LRV of 73.16 means it reflects a significant amount of light while remaining softer than a true white. The low chroma keeps it neutral enough to function as a primary wall color in both traditional and contemporary settings.

For a layered neutral scheme, pair it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, White Dove, or Pale Oak. Edgecomb Gray provides a slightly deeper complement, and Chelsea Gray offers a grounding contrast.
