Benjamin Moore

Soft Chamois

969 / OC-13

Soft Chamois is a warm off-white with faint beige-yellow undertones that keep it from reading as stark or clinical. At an LRV of 77.4, it reflects a high amount of light while maintaining a slight tonal depth that pure whites lack. The yellow lean becomes more apparent under incandescent lighting, where it shifts noticeably warmer.

It sits comfortably alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove, Pale Oak, and Smoky Taupe in tonal range, and can be grounded with deeper neutrals like Chelsea Gray or Revere Pewter without creating harsh contrast.

Soft Chamois 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.
