Reading
LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.
At LRV 73 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. This is an interior-only color.
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.

Benjamin Moore lists CSP-125 as an interior color, so only the interior lines are listed. Tinted while you wait at the counter. Ask for a quote and we’ll call back with the price and have it mixed for pickup; sample pints are mixed the same way.

Questions
Will it look like this on my wall?
Not exactly. Screens vary and paint shifts with the light in the room. Pick up a sample before you commit to a wall — put it up for a full day so you see it in morning light, afternoon light and lamplight before the gallons get tinted.
Is it approved for my HOA?
That depends on your community, not on the color alone. Search your HOA to see its approved palette, then bring the scheme in and we will tell you how Ally's Earring compares. Committees approve colors, not brands, so a Benjamin Moore can is fine as long as the color matches the approved sheet.
Which line for a west-facing exterior?
CSP-125 is an interior-only 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 exterior use.
Can you match it in another brand?
We tint Benjamin Moore. CSP-125 is a native Benjamin Moore formula, so there is nothing to approximate here — it comes out of the machine 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 and we will read it and tell you how close we can get.
