Benjamin Moore

Opaline

OC-33 / 939

Opaline from Benjamin Moore is an off-white with cream undertones that give it a warm, yellowish cast compared to starker whites. Its LRV of 77.89 allows it to reflect considerable light, functioning effectively as a whole-room color in living areas, bedrooms, and kitchens where warmth without strong color is the goal. The creamy base becomes more prominent under warm artificial lighting and recedes slightly in daylight.

Opaline works well with other Benjamin Moore colors including White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue, supporting both neutral layering and tonal contrast.

Opaline 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.
