Benjamin Moore

Paris Romance

1262

Parish White is a soft, warm white from Benjamin Moore with subtle cream undertones, historically derived from the late 18th-century paint found at Bruton Parish Church in Colonial Williamsburg. It registers an LRV of 81.09, making it a high-reflectance option well suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where brightness and warmth are both needed. The cream base keeps it from reading stark under natural light.

It coordinates well with muted neutrals such as Edgecomb Gray, Revere Pewter, and Wind's Breath, and provides a clean backdrop when used alongside deeper tones like Hale Navy or Wrought Iron.
