What color is Benjamin Moore Happy Valley?

Benjamin Moore Happy Valley 212 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft parchment cast rather than a bright, sunny look. Its warm undertone is noticeable, but the pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In daylight, Happy Valley reads as a gentle off-white with a buttery tint; under warm evening lamps, its yellow notes become more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a little warmth can soften white trim and natural wood. Pair it with warm white, muted sage, dusty blue, or medium oak for an easy, grounded palette.

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 77.46%, 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.
