Benjamin Moore

San Diego Cream

921 / OC-103

San Diego Cream has an LRV of 81.36, reflecting most incident light and functioning effectively as an off-white with yellow-cream undertones. It reads warmer than a pure white and can appear slightly golden in south-facing rooms. The color holds enough pigment to distinguish it from stark whites on adjacent surfaces.

Benjamin Moore Simply White and Chantilly Lace work as crisper trim options, while Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter offer subtle contrast on adjoining walls. Quiet Moments introduces a cool counterpoint that can balance the warmth in a shared space.
