Benjamin Moore

Lancaster Whitewash

HC-174 / 940

Lancaster Whitewash is a high-reflectance neutral with a green-tinged undertone that separates it from standard warm whites. With an LRV of 72.61, it performs similarly to Lancaster White in brightness but shifts slightly toward a cooler, more botanical lean. The green cast is subtle enough to remain neutral in most lighting conditions but becomes more apparent beside pure whites.

It works well alongside White Dove and Classic Gray for tonal continuity. Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide contrast, and Windchime or Camouflage extend its green undertone in analogous arrangements.
