Benjamin Moore

White Christmas

872 / OC-63

White Christmas (OC-131) from Benjamin Moore is a cool white defined by clean blue undertones, with an LRV of 82.2. The blue cast becomes more apparent alongside warm materials and under warm-temperature lighting. It coordinates with Silver Satin and Decorator's White for consistent cool-white layering, Hale Navy and Black Pepper for bold value shifts, and Whispering Spring for analogous cool-tone continuity.

It is best suited for contemporary or minimalist applications where a crisp, blue-leaning white is specified for walls, trim, or ceilings.

White Christmas 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.
