Simply White
Benjamin Moore
OC-117
Simply White is a bright, clean white with a subtle warm undertone, just enough yellow to keep it from feeling sterile. Designers use it heavily on trim, cabinetry, and ceilings, and on walls when the goal is a fresh, light-filled room rather than a moody one. It sits between the softer White Dove and the crisper Chantilly Lace, and competes directly with both.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Simply White?

Is Simply White warm or cool?
Simply White leans warm, with a faint yellow undertone beneath a very bright base. At an LRV of approximately 92, it is one of the most reflective whites in the Benjamin Moore deck, so it bounces light aggressively and can amplify whatever color surrounds it. In strong southern light the warmth becomes more noticeable, so sample it next to your countertops and flooring before committing to kitchen cabinetry.
Why does Simply White look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #F6F6ED as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Simply White have?
Simply White has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 92, meaning it reflects about 92% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
