Benjamin Moore

Old World Romance

303 / CC-216

Old World Romance by Benjamin Moore is a smooth, creamy pale yellow with soft warm undertones that lean slightly toward butter without becoming saturated. With an LRV of 80.33, it reflects a high amount of light, making rooms feel open and well-lit, which suits kitchens, entryways, and living rooms where natural brightness is a priority. The yellow base remains restrained enough to function as a near-neutral in lighter applications.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Windmill Wings, and Springtime Bloom, allowing for layered warm-to-cool schemes.
