About Ambrosia
Ambrosia (893) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 83, Ambrosia reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Ambrosia's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. Next to Ecru (2014-70), it's darker.
How Ambrosia changes with the light
Ambrosia is a warm white, so it stays soft rather than gray in north-facing rooms and looks creamier in strong south or west sun.
North-facing rooms
Ambrosia's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Ambrosia will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Ambrosia can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Ambrosia will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
