Benjamin Moore

Timid White

2148-60 / OC-39

Timid White (OC-39) from Benjamin Moore is a soft cream with warm yellow undertones that keep it from reading as a stark white. At an LRV of 82.45, it reflects a high amount of light while maintaining a noticeable warmth on walls and trim. The yellow-cream base becomes more apparent in rooms with limited natural light, where it shifts away from a clean white toward a buttery neutral.

It coordinates well with White Dove, Simply White, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Guilford Green, working across both warm and cool companion palettes.
