Reading

LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.

At LRV 84 it returns most of the light that falls on it, so the light in the room changes how it looks. It reads cooler by a north window, warmer in afternoon west sun, and different again under a lamp at night.

Aura Interior and Regal Select Interior handle the interior side. Benjamin Moore does not recommend it for exterior use.

Across a whole wall it reads as a warm near-white; on trim or a small patch it looks close to plain white. It suits ceilings, whole rooms and interior trim.

Matte or eggshell on walls; satin on trim, semi-gloss on doors. Higher sheens on walls amplify stucco texture and roller marks.

Questions

  • Will it look like this on my wall?

    Not exactly. Screens vary, and paint shifts with the light in the room. Before you commit, put a sample on the wall for a full day. See it in morning light, afternoon light and lamplight before the gallons are tinted.

  • Is it approved for my HOA?

    It depends on your community. Search your HOA to see its approved palette, then bring the scheme in and we will tell you how Minced Onion compares. Committees approve the color. The brand on the can is not part of the approval, so Benjamin Moore is fine as long as the color matches the approved sheet.

  • Which line for a west-facing exterior?

    Benjamin Moore’s own guidance is that 2145-60 is not an exterior color, so we would not put it on a west wall in any line. Bring a photo of the wall to the counter and we will find the closest color that is rated for it.

  • Can you match it in another brand?

    We tint Benjamin Moore. 2145-60 is a Benjamin Moore formula, so nothing is approximated; it is mixed exactly as published. If you have a Dunn‑Edwards code, Benjamin Moore already has that formula too. For a chip or a lid with no code, bring it in. We will read it and tell you how close we can get.
