Benjamin Moore

Wheat Sheaf

CC-220 / 225

Wheat Sheaf (HC-24) is a warm, creamy neutral from Benjamin Moore with yellow undertones that produce a soft golden warmth. It registers an LRV of 76.35, making it a high-reflectance color that maximizes ambient light in interior spaces. The yellow base is subtle enough to avoid reading distinctly yellow, instead presenting as a warm off-white or light cream.

Suitable Benjamin Moore pairings include White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Iron Mountain. Wheat Sheaf works across traditional and transitional interiors without significant color shift under varied lighting.

Wheat Sheaf 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.
