Benjamin Moore

Picket Fence

CSP-370

Picket Fence is a light neutral that sits between off-white and pale greige, with subtle gray undertones that prevent it from reading creamy. Its LRV of 62.89 makes it bright enough for smaller or lower-light rooms without looking stark. It works well on walls, cabinetry, and trim-heavy spaces where a soft neutral is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray for a close, low-contrast transition. For stronger contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy adds depth, and Palladian Blue can introduce a muted cool accent.

Picket Fence 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.
