Aspen White
What Aspen White Actually Looks Like
Aspen White reads as a warm, slightly yellow-green off-white on the wall. It is not a stark or cool white, and it is not creamy in the butter sense either. The green-yellow bias is subtle enough that many people simply read it as a soft natural white, but put it next to a true neutral white and the tint becomes clear. In bright natural light it can look almost like a very pale celadon. In lower or artificial light it settles into a warmer, more plainly off-white tone.
Aspen White Undertones
The hex and RGB values tell the story directly: the blue channel is noticeably lower than red and green, and the green channel edges ahead of red. That combination produces a yellow-green undertone. It is not a grassy or olive green, just a gentle warm-green cast that keeps the color from reading blue or pink. In rooms with a lot of natural daylight, especially south or west exposure, the green note can become more visible. In north-facing rooms or under incandescent light, it tends to read simply as a warm off-white.
Where Aspen White Works Best
Because this is an interior-only color with a very high LRV, it works well in spaces where you want light to bounce around without committing to a pure white. Rooms with limited natural light benefit from the warmth it brings. It also suits spaces where you want a soft background that does not compete with furnishings or artwork. The yellow-green undertone makes it a reasonable fit alongside natural wood tones, linen, and muted greens, but it can look a little sallow next to cool grays or bright blues.
Where to put Aspen White
In a living room with warm wood floors or natural fiber rugs, Aspen White 2027-70 fades comfortably into the background. The yellow-green tint harmonizes with organic materials and keeps the space feeling relaxed rather than clinical. Avoid pairing it with cool-toned gray upholstery, which can make the wall color look slightly yellow by contrast.
It is a restful choice for a bedroom because the high LRV keeps the room feeling open even when natural light is limited. The soft warm-green undertone reads as calming rather than stimulating. White bedding with a warm or natural tone works better here than bright-white or blue-white linens.
In a kitchen, this color can work well on walls or cabinets if the rest of the space leans warm, think butcher block counters, brass hardware, or natural wood open shelving. Be cautious with cool stone countertops in gray or blue-gray, as those can pull the undertone in an unflattering direction.
The high LRV means the room stays bright even without much window light, which is practical for a workspace. The subtle green-yellow cast is gentle enough that it does not distort color perception dramatically, making it workable if you do any kind of design or craft work at the desk.

Common questions
The LRV is 87.67, which is quite high and puts it in the range most people would call a light or near-white. That said, it carries a visible yellow-green undertone, so it does not read as a pure or stark white. It is more accurately an off-white or soft tinted white.
According to our database, Aspen White 2027-70 is listed for interior use only. Check with your Benjamin Moore retailer to confirm current availability before planning an exterior project.
For most walls, an eggshell gives you a slight sheen that helps the high LRV do its light-bouncing work while remaining easy to clean. Flat or matte works well in low-traffic rooms like bedrooms if you prefer a softer, more matte appearance. Avoid high-gloss on large wall surfaces, as it will make the yellow-green undertone more noticeable.
In north-facing rooms with cool, indirect light, the yellow-green undertone tends to soften and the color reads more simply as a warm off-white. The high LRV still keeps the room feeling reasonably bright despite limited direct sunlight.
