Benjamin Moore

Spanish White

943 / OC-35

Spanish White is a warm white with a noticeable cream undertone and an LRV of 76.28, giving it strong light reflectance while maintaining a distinctly warmer cast than pure whites. It avoids the starkness of cooler whites and provides a soft, slightly aged quality to surfaces. Under incandescent lighting the cream undertone intensifies slightly.

It sits well alongside White Dove and Ballet White for tonal consistency, takes Kendall Charcoal or Chelsea Gray as contrasting accents, and can be layered with Navajo White or Muslin for a quiet warm-neutral scheme.

Spanish White 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.
