Benjamin Moore

Puppy Paws

1156 / OC-75

Puppy Paws by Benjamin Moore is a delicate off-white defined by its dusty peach undertone, which prevents it from reading as a cool or sterile white. At an LRV of 75.08, it reflects a generous amount of light and can function as a warm wall color in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a soft, understated warmth is needed. The peach cast becomes more apparent when placed next to cooler whites.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Pale Oak for a tonal palette, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for deeper contrast.

Puppy Paws 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.
