Jasper Opal

387

Jasper Opal (LRV 80.53) is a pale, warm-leaning tint with soft yellow undertones that keep it from reading as a clean white. At its high reflectance, it functions almost as a tinted white, adding faint warmth to walls while still maximizing ambient light. The yellow cast is mild enough that it won't shift strongly under incandescent lighting.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White in layered white-on-white schemes, takes contrast from Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal, and blends with Palladian Blue or Soft Fern for gentle color variation.

Jasper Opal 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.
