Benjamin Moore

Moonshine

2140-60 / OC-56

Benjamin Moore Moonshine (2140-60) is an off-white with layered blue, green, and gray undertones that give it noticeable depth compared to cleaner whites. With an LRV of 66.53, it sits lower on the reflectance scale than many off-whites, lending it a slightly weighted, gray-green presence on walls. The green undertone tends to be most prominent, though cool lighting can draw out its blue side.

It works well alongside Distant Gray (OC-68) for a lighter trim, Winter White (2140-70) for a brighter ceiling tone, Cloud Cover (OC-25) as a complementary warm white, and Caldwell Green (HC-124) for a deeper accent.

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.
