About Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach (911) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 86, Paradise Beach 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 Paradise Beach'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 Bare (OC-98); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

In strong south light Paradise Beach can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
