Benjamin Moore

Parchment

OC-78 / 901

Parchment by Benjamin Moore is a pale, warm-toned off-white with muted peach undertones that separate it from standard whites and creams. With a Light Reflectance Value of 79.94, it reflects a high amount of light, making it suitable for full-room application in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where a warm but bright backdrop is needed. The peach cast is subtle enough to avoid reading as pink in most lighting.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Heron and Simply White for a layered palette, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal for strong contrast, and Palladian Blue as a cool complement.
