White Down

CC-50 / OC-131, 970

White Down (OC-131) from Benjamin Moore is a warm white with a bare cream undertone and an LRV of 76.69. Its reflectance is lower than many whites in the off-white collection, which gives it a perceptible depth and warmth on large surfaces. It coordinates with Pale Oak and Edgecomb Gray as adjacent warm neutrals, Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy for strong value contrast, and Palladian Blue or Soft Fern for controlled color accents.

It is suited for walls and trim in rooms with ample natural light.
