Bavarian Cream

There is more to Benjamin Moore Bavarian Cream (OC-123) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. A yellow undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Its related shades below reveal where the color harmonizes—and where contrast brings it fully to life.
