About Decorator’s White
Decorator’s White LRV and undertone
Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White (OC-149) has an LRV of 82.68, placing it in the light color depth range. Its color family is white, and its calculated undertone is neutral. Light reflectance value measures the proportion of visible light a surface reflects. This high LRV means Decorator’s White reflects substantial light compared with darker paint colors. Its neutral undertone offers a reference point when comparing it with whites that have stronger yellow, green, or other color influences. However, the surrounding finishes and light source can change how a white appears. In rooms with strong daylight, compare samples against the ceiling and trim before choosing. A different sheen can also affect perceived brightness because it changes how the surface reflects light.
