What color is Benjamin Moore Hannah Banana?
Benjamin Moore Hannah Banana CSP-955 is a warm, mid-tone golden yellow with a softened, slightly earthy cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its #E5C269 color value suggests a sunny hue tempered by beige, giving it enough depth for a dining room, breakfast nook, or a cheerful kitchen wall. In strong daylight, Hannah Banana can read clearer and more golden, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its mellow ochre side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood tones, matte black hardware, or dusty blue-gray accents for contrast. It has enough presence for cabinetry or an accent wall, especially where the room needs a concentrated dose of warmth.

LRV of Hannah Banana
Hannah Banana has an LRV of 53.99% 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 53.99%, 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.
