What 83.32 tells you about Ivory White
The published LRV of Benjamin Moore Ivory White 925 is 83.32. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Ivory White is lighter than White Down and offers a clear creamy-white direction.
The choice beside ivory linen and warm marble
Ivory fabrics and warm marble support a soft scheme, while a cleaner white control shows whether that degree of cream is intentional.
Read the narrow edge between Ivory White and the existing white from several steps away. Repeat with White Down in that same position. The question is whether the wall needs a barely visible transition or an obvious boundary; a high LRV can support either result depending on its neighbor.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Ivory White has an LRV of 83.32; Benjamin Moore White Down OC-131 is 76.69. The difference is 6.63 points, with Ivory White returning more light under the reference measurement. Ivory White is a light creamy 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.
Compare the wall with a cleaner white sample so the cream quality is chosen rather than overlooked. Do not read LRV 83.32 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.
