What color is Benjamin Moore August Morning?
Benjamin Moore August Morning 2156-40 is a warm, sun-baked golden yellow with clear orange undertones. Its mid-light depth gives it enough color presence for a dining room, breakfast nook, or cheerful entry without reading as overly bright. In strong daylight, August Morning can appear more golden and lively, while evening light brings out its softer amber side. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, terracotta tile, or deep olive accents for a grounded palette. It makes a confident choice for full walls, but can also bring warmth to painted cabinetry or a front door.

LRV of August Morning
August Morning has an LRV of 49.65% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 49.65%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
