Benjamin Moore

Pompeii

OC-82 / 908

Pompeii from Benjamin Moore is a warm off-white with soft yellow and cream undertones, registering an LRV of 80.42. At this high reflectance level, it reads as a slightly tinted white that adds warmth without noticeable color saturation. The yellow-cream cast makes it suitable for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a neutral backdrop with mild warmth is needed.

It coordinates well with White Dove and Swiss Coffee for a layered warm-white scheme, Hale Navy for strong contrast accents, Palladian Blue for a cool complement, and Kendall Charcoal for darker trim or furniture elements.
