How it reads
Simply White is one of Benjamin Moore's most-specified whites — bright, at LRV 90, and warm without being creamy. A touch of yellow keeps it friendly, but it is light enough that it reads as a true white in almost every room, which is why it works on walls, trim and ceilings together.
Against a brick fireplace and curtains the color of honey it is sunny and generous; against cool greys it can look faintly yellow. In north light it holds its warmth better than most whites, which is exactly its point.
