What 64.67 tells you about Elmira White
The published LRV of Benjamin Moore Elmira White HC-84 is 64.67. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Elmira White is a light greige, giving more visible neutral color than its white name may imply.
The choice beside cream carpet and oak furniture
Cream carpet and oak furniture establish a warm room context in which a true white control can clarify the intended amount of wall color.
The editorial priority for this color is a named white with visible neutral body. Place the Elmira White board against the actual trim, then move it to the least illuminated part of the proposed wall. Judge the visible boundary from a normal viewing distance. A value that looks suitable on a table may produce too little distinction from one fixed finish and too much from another.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Elmira White has an LRV of 64.67; Benjamin Moore Cedar Key OC-16 is 61.05. The difference is 3.62 points, with Elmira White returning more light under the reference measurement. Elmira White is a light greige rather than a brilliant white. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Use a true white comparison to establish how much wall color the room needs. Do not read LRV 64.67 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
