About Rock Candy

Rock Candy (937) is a light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 77, Rock Candy 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 Rock Candy's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Cream Cloak (OC-135); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
