About Featherbed
Featherbed (928) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 86, Featherbed 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 Featherbed's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for trim and doors, ceilings, kitchens and whole-house walls. It's very close to Calming Cream (OC-105); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Featherbed can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Featherbed will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
