What color is Benjamin Moore Ray of Light?
Benjamin Moore Ray of Light CSP-910 is a pale, buttery yellow with a softened golden cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its light value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the gentle warmth can make north-facing rooms feel less cool. In strong daylight, Ray of Light reads as a creamy sunlit yellow; under warmer evening lamps, it can lean more toward mellow honey. Use it in kitchens, breakfast rooms, or hallways where a quiet wash of warmth is wanted without a saturated yellow statement. Pair this shade with warm whites, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted green or soft blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Ray of Light
Ray of Light has an LRV of 70.76% 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 70.76%, 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.
