Hepplewhite Ivory

HC-36 / 923

Hepplewhite Ivory is a pale yellow with cream undertones, registering an LRV of 75.34. This high reflectance makes it suitable for rooms requiring brightness, such as north-facing spaces or smaller rooms. The cream quality softens the yellow, preventing it from reading as stark.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove pairs naturally as a trim color, while Muslin provides a slightly deeper coordinating tone. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal work as accent colors for contrast. Pale Smoke or Wythe Blue can extend the palette into cooler territory while maintaining cohesion.
