Benjamin Moore

Natural Cream

OC-14 / 1521

Natural Cream (OC-14) is a light greige from Benjamin Moore's Off-White collection, with an LRV of 64.78 that places it in the upper-mid reflectance range. Its undertones are a mix of gray, beige, and a subtle green that becomes more apparent in north-facing rooms or on overcast days, in warmer light, the beige component takes the lead. This complexity makes it functional with both warm and cool palettes.

It coordinates with Cloud Cover (OC-25) for a quieter white trim, Thunder (AF-685) and Granite (AF-660) for darker accent depth, and Boothbay Gray (HC-165) for a cool-toned mid-range companion.

Natural 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.
