What color is Benjamin Moore Fun in the Sun?
Benjamin Moore Fun in the Sun 358 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft sunlit cast rather than a sharp, high-chroma lemon look. Its pale depth keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the noticeable yellow warmth gives white trim and natural wood a gentle contrast. In bright daylight, Fun in the Sun can read as a clean buttery cream; under warmer evening bulbs, it may appear richer and more golden. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, children’s spaces, or a north-facing room that could use a warmer visual lift. Pair it with warm white, honey-toned oak, light maple, woven rattan, or muted greens for a grounded palette.

LRV of Fun in the Sun
Fun in the Sun has an LRV of 82.04% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.04%, 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.
