Winter Wheat

232 / OC-40

Winter Wheat (BM) is a warm off-white defined by creamy, yellow-beige undertones, with a hex value of #EBE3CF and an LRV of 74.29. It reads noticeably warmer than stark or blue-toned whites due to its yellow-cream base. Within Benjamin Moore, it coordinates with White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Chelsea Gray, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue.

The LRV of 74.29 provides strong light reflectance while retaining enough pigment to avoid the flatness associated with pure whites, making it functional as a wall or trim color in warm-toned schemes.

Winter Wheat 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.
