Benjamin Moore

Windham Cream

HC-6

Windham Cream (Benjamin Moore) is a warm off-white cream with subtle peach undertones that distinguish it from pure yellow-based creams. Its LRV of 79.04 places it in the high-reflectance category, meaning it will read as nearly white in bright rooms while revealing its warm peach-yellow cast in lower light. The peach component is restrained enough to keep the color within the neutral family.

Recommended same-brand pairings include White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Hunter Green, and Pink Damask, offering versatility from clean trims to contrasting accent walls.
