White Swan

927 / AF-70, AC-42, HC-27, OC-132

White Swan (OC-19) by Benjamin Moore is a warm, creamy white with yellow undertones apparent in its hex value #E9E5D0. It carries an LRV of 75.33, reflecting a substantial amount of light while retaining enough pigment depth to avoid reading as a stark white. The warm base makes it distinguishable from cooler off-whites in the same product line.

Effective same-brand pairings include Ballet White, Monterey White, Kendall Charcoal, Pale Oak, and Gray Owl, supporting both tonal layering and higher-contrast accent configurations.
