Benjamin Moore

Vichyssoise

CC-246 / 226

Vichyssoise (Benjamin Moore) is a yellow-beige with warm, straw-like undertones that keep it from reading as a straight neutral. Its LRV of 67.04 places it in the upper-mid reflectance range, so it will appear light and open without the brightness of a near-white. The yellow base is subtle but present, giving it a distinctly warm cast under most lighting conditions.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Sand, Muslin, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Saybrook Sage, offering options for both tonal warmth and darker contrast.

Vichyssoise in Different Light

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.
