What color is Benjamin Moore Happily Ever After?
Benjamin Moore Happily Ever After 173 is a clear, sunlit golden yellow with a noticeable apricot cast. Its high brightness keeps it cheerful rather than heavy, while the warm orange undertone gives it more depth than a soft buttery yellow. In direct daylight, this shade can read fresh and luminous; under warm evening bulbs, it shifts toward a richer honey-gold. It brings welcome color to a breakfast nook, playroom, mudroom, or a painted interior door, and can also make a lively accent on cabinetry. Pair Happily Ever After with creamy whites, warm wood, terracotta tile, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Happily Ever After
Happily Ever After has an LRV of 60.18% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.18%, 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.
