What color is Benjamin Moore Luminous Days?
Benjamin Moore Luminous Days 300 is a clear, sun-warmed golden yellow with a noticeable amber cast. Its medium-light depth and fairly lively saturation give it more presence than a pale cream or muted straw shade. In bright daylight, Luminous Days can read as cheerful yellow-gold, while evening or warmer artificial light draws out its deeper honeyed character. It suits a breakfast nook, kitchen wall, sunny hallway, or a painted interior door where its color can be appreciated in a smaller dose. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven cane, terracotta, or deep olive accents for an earthy, grounded contrast.

LRV of Luminous Days
Luminous Days has an LRV of 52.38% 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 52.38%, 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.
