Benjamin Moore

Vanilla Cookie

372

Vanilla Cookie is a creamy off-white from Benjamin Moore with distinct lemon-yellow undertones. Its LRV of 82.54 places it in the high-reflectance category, making it effective for brightening rooms with limited natural light. The warmth in this shade comes from its yellow lean rather than pink or peach, giving it a buttery quality that distinguishes it from cooler whites.

It coordinates with White Dove and Swiss Coffee for a warm tonal grouping, and contrasts effectively against Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal. Pale Oak provides a close-value neutral companion.
