Benjamin Moore

Prentis Cream

CW-100

Prentis Cream by Benjamin Moore is a warm neutral cream carrying subtle rosy undertones, historically derived from paint analysis of an early 1770s color at the Prentis Store. Its LRV of 73.52 makes it a high-reflectance option that keeps rooms feeling bright and open. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms, particularly in homes with traditional or colonial architectural details.

For a cohesive palette, it works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Cloud White, while deeper accents like Hale Navy or Salamander provide contrast. Manchester Tan and Hawthorne Yellow serve as effective analogous companions within the same warm range.
