Monterey White

HC-27 / OC-132, AF-70, 927, AC-42

Monterey White (HC-27) is a warm off-white with noticeable yellow and green undertones that give it an organic, straw-like quality. With an LRV of 75.33, it reflects a high amount of light and can function as a wall color or a richer alternative to stark white trim. The green undertone keeps it from reading as purely golden, lending a slight earthiness.

Among Benjamin Moore pairings, it works well with Mountain Peak White (OC-121) for a cleaner white trim, New London Burgundy (HC-61) as a deep accent, Cloud White (OC-130) for a tonal ceiling, and Britannia Blue (1623) for a cool contrast point.
