What color is Benjamin Moore Dalila?
Benjamin Moore Dalila 319 is a light, sunny yellow with a creamy, softly golden cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the warm yellow pigment gives it more presence than an off-white. In daylight, Dalila reads as a clean butter yellow; under warm evening bulbs, it can deepen toward a richer honeyed cream. It suits breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and kitchens where a cheerful wall color is wanted without going overly saturated. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Dalila
Dalila has an LRV of 72.07% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 72.07%, 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.
