What color is Benjamin Moore Bold Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Bold Yellow 336 is a clear, high-energy yellow with a sunny golden cast rather than an orange-heavy tone. Its strong saturation makes it read as lively and direct on a wall, especially in spaces with ample daylight. In bright light, this shade can appear crisp and radiant; under warmer evening bulbs, it takes on a fuller, more golden look. Use Bold Yellow on a breakfast nook wall, a painted door, shelving, or a small piece of cabinetry when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. Pair it with clean white trim, charcoal accents, natural oak, or deep navy for contrast that keeps the yellow grounded.
LRV of Bold Yellow
Bold Yellow has an LRV of 69.03% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69.03%, 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.
