What color is Benjamin Moore Filtered Sunlight?

Benjamin Moore Filtered Sunlight 2154-60 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear warm cast and a soft, gently muted presence. Its pale golden-beige undertone keeps it from reading like a sharp primary yellow, especially on broad wall surfaces. In bright daylight, this color can look airy and buttery; under warmer lamps, it takes on a richer cream tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a little warmth is welcome without making the room feel heavily colored. Pair Filtered Sunlight with warm white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, and brushed brass, or add contrast through dusty blue, olive green, or charcoal accents.

LRV of Filtered Sunlight

Filtered Sunlight has an LRV of 80.64% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 80.64%, 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.
