Benjamin Moore

Royal Silk

939 / OC-33

Royal Silk is a high-reflectance off-white with an LRV of 77.89, registering a distinctly warm cast driven by cream undertones visible in the #EDE8D5 hex value. It reads lighter than most off-whites yet retains enough yellow-beige content to avoid feeling stark or clinical on walls. The warmth sits in a similar family to Benjamin Moore White Dove and Swiss Coffee, making tonal layering straightforward.

Pairing with Pale Oak maintains a soft neutral scheme, while deeper accents such as Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide sufficient contrast without competing with the underlying cream tone.
