What color is Benjamin Moore Corn Husk?
Benjamin Moore Corn Husk 307 is a clear, sunlit golden yellow with a noticeable warm orange cast. Its high brightness keeps it cheerful rather than heavy, though the saturated color will read strongest on large walls in direct daylight. In softer or evening light, Corn Husk can take on a deeper honeyed appearance. It suits a breakfast nook, mudroom, or children’s space, and also makes a lively choice for an interior door or painted cabinet accent. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, natural rattan, or muted blue-gray details to give the yellow room to stand out.

LRV of Corn Husk
Corn Husk has an LRV of 53.3% 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 53.3%, 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.
