About Ultra White

Ultra White (CC-10) is a crisp, clean white from Benjamin Moore with almost no visible undertone. With an LRV of 85, Ultra White reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.

Because its undertone is so subtle, Ultra White stays fairly consistent between north- and south-facing rooms. It's a good fit for trim and doors, ceilings, kitchens and whole-house walls. It's very close to Wedding Veil (2125-70); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
