Benjamin Moore

Little Dipper

324

Little Dipper is a pale, buttery yellow with a clean warm undertone and very little green influence. Its LRV of 82.36 puts it near the top of the reflectance scale, so it functions almost like a tinted white while still delivering noticeable yellow warmth. It stays consistent under varying light conditions without turning muddy.

White Dove or Simply White pair naturally for trim, and Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray supply firm contrast. Fernwood Green and Hawthorne Yellow extend the warm palette without competing for attention.

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.
