What color is Benjamin Moore Lightning Bolt?
Benjamin Moore Lightning Bolt 323 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast that keeps it from reading as plain white. Its low saturation gives it a gentle, sun-washed appearance, especially on broad walls in kitchens, breakfast rooms, and softly lit hallways. In bright daylight, Lightning Bolt looks clearer and lightly buttery; under warmer lamps, its yellow warmth becomes more noticeable. Pair it with crisp white trim for definition, or with pale oak, natural linen, and muted olive or sage accents for an easy, grounded palette. This shade is especially effective on walls where a hint of color is wanted without making the room feel heavily yellow.

LRV of Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt has an LRV of 82.82% 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 82.82%, 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.
