Benjamin Moore

Frostine

AF-5

Frostine is a cool white with an LRV of 86.32, reflecting substantial light while maintaining a slight cool cast. The undertones lean toward gray-blue rather than yellow, giving it a crisp appearance in natural light. This shade functions well in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas where maximum brightness is desired without warm yellow tones.

Frostine coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl for accent walls, works with Nimbus in transitional spaces, and pairs with Chelsea Gray for cabinetry or trim contrast. Hale Navy provides strong definition when deeper accent colors are needed.

Frostine 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.
