Milkyway

2018-70 / OC-110

Milkyway is a warm off-white with a pale yellow undertone that keeps it from reading as stark or clinical. With an LRV of 86.24, it reflects a high percentage of light, making it functional as a full-room wall color, ceiling, or trim shade. Secondary hints of cream prevent any cool or bluish cast, and the color maintains its warmth across most lighting conditions.

Part of Benjamin Moore's Off-White collection, it coordinates with Snowfall White (OC-118) and Tapestry Beige (OC-32) for subtle tonal layering, while Mountain Peak White (OC-121) and Tranquility (AF-490) offer quiet contrast.

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.
