Ballet White
Benjamin Moore
OC-9
Ballet White is a creamy off-white with a greige undertone, warmer and more pigmented than the true whites but quieter than a beige. It suits walls in traditional and transitional homes, particularly with antique furniture, warm stone, and aged finishes. It is often chosen when White Dove reads too white and Edgecomb Gray too dark.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Ballet White?

Is Ballet White warm or cool?
Ballet White is warm, a cream-greige blend with a soft khaki undertone. Its LRV is approximately 75, so it stays light on walls while clearly registering as a color against white trim. In strong sun it reads creamy; in dim light the greige side deepens. It harmonizes with warm travertine, oak, and brass, and it can make cool gray fabrics look out of place, so coordinate textiles accordingly.
Why does Ballet 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 #E5E0D0 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Ballet White have?
Ballet White has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 74, meaning it reflects about 74% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
