Benjamin Moore

Temporal Spirit

965 / OC-11

Temporal Spirit (BM) is a warm, sandy neutral with an LRV of 61.61, reflecting a moderate-to-high amount of light. Its undertones are yellow-beige with a muted quality that prevents it from reading overtly gold or tan. The overall effect is a soft, low-saturation warm tone that recedes on walls rather than drawing attention.

It sits comfortably alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Ballet White, Hale Navy, Pale Oak, and Revere Pewter, all of which share its warm neutral family or provide measured depth 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.
