What color is Benjamin Moore Firefly?
Benjamin Moore Firefly 299 is a warm golden yellow with a clear honeyed cast and moderate brightness. Its sunlit character reads cheerful on walls without becoming neon, while lower light can bring out a slightly deeper, more ochre-like side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and children’s spaces where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. Pair Firefly with creamy whites, warm wood cabinetry, terracotta tile, or deep olive accents for a grounded palette. On cabinetry or a painted front door, this shade makes a confident accent against neutral siding or pale walls.

LRV of Firefly
Firefly has an LRV of 54.72% 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 54.72%, 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.
