What color is Benjamin Moore Aztec Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Aztec Yellow 2152-20 is a mid-depth golden yellow with a muted, earthy cast rather than a bright lemon character. Its #B89045 value suggests warm ochre and tan undertones, giving the color a grounded, slightly aged appearance. In strong daylight, it can read as a clearer golden mustard, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its brownish, antique-gold side. Aztec Yellow suits a dining room, sunroom, or kitchen wall where a substantial yellow feels more appropriate than a pale buttery shade. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, clay reds, or dark stained wood for a palette with natural weight. It also makes a distinctive choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall alongside black metal hardware and warm oak.
LRV of Aztec Yellow
Aztec Yellow has an LRV of 28.76% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 28.76%, 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.
