Benjamin Moore

Opal

891 / OC-73

Opal from Benjamin Moore is a light off-white with understated peach undertones that provide a faint warmth without reading as overtly pink or orange. Its LRV of 84.33 places it among the higher-reflectance neutrals, making it effective in rooms that require brightness, such as hallways, bedrooms, and living areas with limited natural light. The peach base becomes more visible when placed next to pure whites or cooler grays.

Opal pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Cloud White, Pale Oak, Newburyport Blue, and Kendall Charcoal, allowing it to anchor both tonal neutral palettes and higher-contrast combinations.
