Porcelain

Benjamin Moore · 2113-60

The Analysis

Porcelain is a soft, warm-toned neutral that prevents a room from feeling sterile or cold. With an LRV of 57.37, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it a reliable choice for softening a space without making it feel overly bright or washed out.

This is an excellent candidate for a main wall colour throughout a home or an open-concept living area. It acts as a neutral canvas that bridges the gap between stark white and deeper taupe tones.

LRV 57

History & Origin

This shade leans toward a modern, transitional aesthetic rather than a specific period look. It avoids the yellow-heavy hues common in older paint palettes, keeping the space feeling current.

How to Use It

It pairs beautifully with light oak or walnut wood tones to enhance its warmth. For hardware, matte black provides a sharp contrast, while unlacquered brass adds a sophisticated, understated glow.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels balanced and restful rather than high-energy. It provides a clean, settled backdrop that doesn't demand attention, making it easy to live with over the long term.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
