Benjamin Moore

Light Quartz

2011-70

Light Quartz registers at an LRV of 82.13, making it a high-reflectance color that stays close to white on the wall. Its undertone blends pink and peach in roughly equal measure, so it shifts slightly depending on the light source - leaning more pink under cool fluorescents and more peach in warm afternoon sun. Classic Gray and Simply White are reliable trim companions that won't compete with the soft warmth.

First Light or Peach Parfait extend the tonal range, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy deliver sharp contrast.
