Benjamin Moore

Standish White

HC-32

Standish White is a warm off-white with a clear yellow undertone, registering an LRV of 69.53. It reflects a considerable amount of light but reads noticeably warmer than pure whites, especially under incandescent lighting where the yellow cast intensifies. In daylight, it softens to a creamy neutral.

It functions well as a wall color alongside Simply White on trim for a layered white-on-white effect. Revere Pewter complements it at a darker value, Saybrook Sage introduces a muted green contrast, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong anchoring tones in the same space.

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.
