What color is Benjamin Moore Semolina?
Benjamin Moore Semolina 2155-40 is a warm, sunlit golden yellow with a softly muted, wheat-like cast. Its #F4C36B color value gives it clear yellow-orange warmth without reading as a sharp primary yellow. In bright daylight, Semolina can look lively and buttery, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its richer honey tones. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, playrooms, and cheerful entryways, particularly as a wall color or painted cabinet accent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, woven textures, and deep olive or earthy brown details for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Semolina
Semolina has an LRV of 56.33% 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 56.33%, 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.
