Benjamin Moore

Mascarpone

AF-20

Mascarpone is a near-white with a soft cream cast, registering an LRV of 89. At hex #F8F7E8, it carries a noticeable yellow undertone that separates it from cooler whites, reading warm without tipping into beige. It reflects enough light to function as a primary wall color in low-light spaces while maintaining more depth than a straight white.

It sits comfortably alongside White Dove and Simply White in trim pairings. For contrast, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal work well, and Palladian Blue offers a clean complementary option.
