Benjamin Moore

Soft White

2170-70

Soft White is a high-reflectance off-white with an LRV of 83.34, placing it near the top of the brightness scale while retaining faint peach and pink undertones. These warm traces are subtle enough to read as a clean white in most lighting but become noticeable next to a true cool white. It functions well as a full-room color or as trim against slightly darker warm tones.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Creamy sit in a similar warm-white range, while Pale Oak and Pink Damask pick up the underlying warmth. Hale Navy provides a pronounced dark contrast.

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.
