What color is Benjamin Moore Falling Star?

Benjamin Moore Falling Star 351 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft, sunlit cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its #F8F3C5 color value gives it a pale, low-saturation look that can read almost ivory at a distance, especially in bright daylight. In warmer artificial light, Falling Star takes on a richer buttery note, while cooler daylight keeps its yellow character gentle and washed with cream. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and hallways where a subtle hint of color is wanted without making the walls feel heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted green or dusty blue accents for a grounded palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 84.83%, 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.
