What color is Benjamin Moore Crowne Hill Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Crowne Hill Yellow 312 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a creamy golden cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the noticeable yellow pigment gives it more presence than an off-white. In daylight, this shade can read as a soft butter yellow; warmer evening bulbs may draw out its honeyed character. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, and children’s spaces, as well as a cheerful painted door or cabinet interior. Pair Crowne Hill Yellow with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, muted sage green, or dusty blue for a grounded contrast.
LRV of Crowne Hill Yellow
Crowne Hill Yellow has an LRV of 70.4% 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 70.4%, 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.
