Benjamin Moore

French White

1093

French White is a warm, creamy beige with subtle yellow undertones that add gentle warmth without appearing overly saturated. With an LRV of 72.65, this color reflects a substantial amount of light, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where brightness is desired. The yellow cast keeps the tone from reading too cool or stark.

This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Simply White, and Edgecomb Gray for layered neutral schemes, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can provide contrast in trim or accent applications.
