Benjamin Moore

Palace White

956 / OC-100

Palace White by Benjamin Moore is a rich off-white distinguished by warm, sandy undertones that prevent it from reading as stark or clinical on walls. With an LRV of 73.17, it reflects a substantial amount of light and can help open up living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms without the coolness of a pure white. The sandy warmth pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White for tone-on-tone layering, while Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter can serve as slightly deeper complements on trim or adjacent walls, and Kendall Charcoal offers a firm contrast for accent features.

Palace White 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
