Benjamin Moore

Polar White

2069-70

Polar White from Benjamin Moore is a high-reflectance off-white with an LRV of 79.34, carrying faint lavender undertones that distinguish it from standard warm whites. The cool cast reads as clean and slightly violet-shifted under natural daylight, which makes it well suited for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas in minimalist or contemporary layouts. It coordinates effectively with Misty Lilac for tonal continuity, Silver Lake for a deeper cool accent, White Dove as a warmer trim option, Black Raspberry for contrast on feature walls, and Chantilly Lace on ceilings.
