Benjamin Moore

Lightning White

2019-70

Lightning White is a pale yellow with soft, buttery undertones that distinguish it from a true neutral white. Its LRV of 86.52 places it near the top of the reflectance range, meaning it will read almost as a white in lower light but reveal its yellow cast in direct sun. It coordinates easily with White Dove and Simply White for an all-light palette.

Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy offer sharp contrast when needed. Lemon Sorbet or Weston Flax can extend the yellow story without overwhelming 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.
