What color is Benjamin Moore Barely Yellow?

Benjamin Moore Barely Yellow 2025-70 is an extremely light, softened yellow with a faint yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading sugary or golden. Its high brightness gives walls an airy, nearly off-white appearance, while the gentle color becomes more noticeable in clear daylight. In warmer artificial light, Barely Yellow can lean creamier and sunnier without becoming bold. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and softly lit hallways where a white wall might feel too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, woven fibers, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for a quiet, lightly layered palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 88.44%, 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.
