Benjamin Moore

Precious Ivory

185

Precious Ivory by Benjamin Moore is a golden beige with subtle orange undertones that lean warm without becoming distinctly yellow. Its LRV of 70.38 makes it a high-reflectance neutral, well-suited for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms that benefit from ambient warmth and ample light return. The golden cast differentiates it from cooler off-whites.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee pair closely for layered neutral schemes, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal supply strong tonal contrast. Palladian Blue and Georgian Green introduce cooler accents that balance the warm base effectively.

Precious Ivory 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.
