Benjamin Moore

Morristown Cream

1241

Morristown Cream (1241) is a subtle pink-toned neutral from Benjamin Moore's Classic Color Collection, with an LRV of 62.29 that keeps it in the light range. A pale gray undertone is the defining characteristic here, grounding the pink base and allowing the color to function as a versatile neutral rather than an outright blush. It shifts between warm and cool depending on surrounding colors and light quality.

Pair it with Cloud White (967) or Chantilly Lace (OC-65) for trim, Summer Harvest (206) for warmth, and Silver Spring (2120-50) for a cooler complement.

Morristown Cream 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.

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.
