Benjamin Moore

Steam

AF-15

Steam (AF-15) is a warm white with faint creamy undertones and an LRV of 84.2, reflecting a high amount of ambient light without appearing stark. Its subtle yellow lean softens the overall read, keeping it from trending clinical under cool-temperature bulbs. The RGB balance of approximately 240/239/230 confirms its near-neutral warmth.

It layers effectively with Benjamin Moore Ballet White and Wind's Breath for tonal depth across trim and walls. White Dove reads slightly warmer alongside it, while Wrought Iron and Santorini Blue supply measured contrast when a darker anchor is needed.
