About Celery Salt
Celery Salt (OC-136) is a light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 77, Celery Salt 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 Celery Salt'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. It's very close to Grand Teton White (OC-132); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
