What color is Benjamin Moore Broadway Lights?
Benjamin Moore Broadway Lights 298 is a light, sunlit yellow with a clear golden cast, based on its #F3D27F color value. It reads warm and cheerful without the orange weight of deeper ochres, making it especially appealing where a room needs more visible color than an off-white can provide. Bright daylight brings out its clean buttery-yellow character, while lower evening light can make it appear richer and more honeyed. Use Broadway Lights on kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or a painted interior door, paired with creamy whites, pale natural wood, woven cane, and soft gray-blue accents.

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

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 63.63%, 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.
