About White Heron
White Heron LRV and undertone
Benjamin Moore White Heron (OC-57) has an LRV of 86.69, placing it in the light depth range. Light reflectance value measures how much visible light a paint color reflects, on a scale where higher numbers indicate greater reflectance. This high LRV means White Heron can help a room appear brighter, although actual results depend on window size, orientation, and surrounding surfaces. Its color family is white, with a subtle green undertone calculated from its Lab values. That undertone may become more noticeable beside warmer whites or under lighting that emphasizes green. In north-facing rooms, cooler daylight can change how white paint appears; south-facing rooms generally receive warmer, more direct daylight.
