Benjamin Moore

Lychee

AF-40 / 2162-70

Lychee is a warm off-white with an LRV of 81.34, putting it in the high-reflectance range just below a true white. A faint peach undertone runs through the base, giving it a slightly pink-warm cast that distinguishes it from cooler or strictly yellow-based whites. It reads clean in well-lit rooms but can appear noticeably peachy in low or warm artificial light.

It harmonizes closely with White Dove and Ballet White, takes on useful contrast from Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy, and coordinates well with warmer pinks like Soft Salmon or Coral Reef.

Lychee in Different Light

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.
