Benjamin Moore

White Violet

1408

White Violet (OC-68) by Benjamin Moore is a near-neutral off-white with cool violet undertones and a faint green-gray bias, reflected in its hex value #E9EBE6. It has an LRV of 81.56, placing it in the high-reflectance category suitable for walls, trim, and ceiling applications. The violet cast is subtle enough that it reads as a muted cool neutral under most lighting conditions.

Recommended same-brand pairings include Quiet Moments, Silver Half Dollar, Hale Navy, Pale Oak, and Wickham Gray for layered cool-toned interior schemes.

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.
