Benjamin Moore

Simply White

2143-70 / OC-117

Simply White from Benjamin Moore posts an LRV of 89.52, placing it near the top of the reflectance scale. It reads as a clean white with a very slight warm undertone-enough to prevent it from appearing stark or clinical, but not enough to register as cream. Side by side with a pure cool white, the warmth becomes detectable.

It maintains consistency across wall, trim, and ceiling applications and works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Revere Pewter. Its high reflectance makes it functional in low-light rooms where maximum brightness is required.
