Benjamin Moore

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.
