Benjamin Moore

Mushroom Cap

177

Mushroom Cap is a light yellow with warm golden and buff undertones that give it a creamy, wheat-toned quality rather than a bright citrus character. With an LRV of 73.13, it reflects a significant amount of light, placing it in the high-reflectance range suitable for smaller or darker rooms. The warm base keeps it from appearing cool under artificial lighting.

Benjamin Moore recommends pairing it with Powder Sand OC-113, Plymouth Rock 1543, Simply White OC-117, and Vintage Charm 1455, all of which complement its soft golden foundation.

Mushroom Cap 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.
