Benjamin Moore

Norfolk Cream

261

Norfolk Cream by Benjamin Moore is a warm cream with soft yellow undertones that give it a gently luminous quality without veering into bold territory. With an LRV of 73.08, it reflects a significant amount of light, making it a practical choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where brightness with warmth is needed. The yellow influence is restrained enough to read as neutral in most conditions.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for layered white-on-cream schemes, Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy for contrast, and Windham Cream for a closely related tonal pairing.
