Benjamin Moore

Polar Frost

1506 / OC-139

Polar Frost by Benjamin Moore is a light, muted shade balancing green and gray undertones, with an LRV of 71.46. Its high reflectance keeps spaces open and well-lit, while the green-gray mix gives it a cooler, more complex character than a standard off-white. It reads as a quiet neutral that shifts between green and gray depending on ambient light.

It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and minimalist office spaces. For tonal harmony, combine it with White Dove or Gray Owl. Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy add definition, while Quiet Moments and Wickham Gray maintain a cool, cohesive palette.

Polar Frost 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.
