What color is Benjamin Moore Imperial Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Imperial Yellow 314 is a bright, sunlit yellow with a clear golden-orange cast. Its high saturation gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a front door, kitchen island, painted furniture, or a single accent wall. In direct daylight, this color reads crisp and cheerful; under warm artificial light, its golden side becomes more pronounced. Pair Imperial Yellow with clean white trim for contrast, or temper it with charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, and black metal details. In a larger room, it is best used selectively unless a boldly colored, high-energy finish is the goal.

LRV of Imperial Yellow
Imperial Yellow has an LRV of 57.89% 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 57.89%, 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.
