Ivory Tusk

2153-70 / OC-91

Ivory Tusk is a warm white with a light lemon undertone that separates it from cooler, blue-leaning whites. Its LRV of 84.63 puts it near the top of the reflectance range, so the yellow cast is restrained and most visible in side-by-side comparisons with a neutral white. Under incandescent lighting the lemon note intensifies slightly, while north-facing daylight keeps it closer to a clean warm white.

It works well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Kendall Charcoal, Palladian Blue, and Hollingsworth Green.

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.
