Benjamin Moore

Knitted Cape

CSP-965

Knitted Cape is a light, creamy neutral with warm yellow undertones that prevent it from reading stark or clinical. At an LRV of 77.17, it reflects a high amount of light and functions well as a wall color in spaces where brightness is a priority. The yellow base keeps it distinct from cooler off-whites and gives it a slightly aged-linen quality.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee work for coordinating trim. Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy deliver firm contrast, while October Mist and First Light complement its warmth in softer, low-contrast palettes.

Knitted Cape 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.
