Benjamin Moore

Maritime White

963 / OC-5

Maritime White is an off-white that leans into warm beige territory, carrying subtle yellow and taupe undertones. With an LRV of 71.6, it sits just below the brightest whites, offering enough pigment to feel like an intentional color rather than a default. In south-facing rooms, the warmth becomes more pronounced, in cooler light, it reads closer to a pale greige.

It pairs naturally with White Dove or Muslin for a layered neutral scheme. Pashmina and Kendall Charcoal offer useful contrast, and it sits comfortably alongside soft taupes and muted clay pinks.

Maritime White in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
