What color is Benjamin Moore Sparkling Sun?
Benjamin Moore Sparkling Sun 2020-30 is a clear, high-energy golden yellow with a noticeable orange cast rather than a lemony edge. Its saturated color makes a strong statement on a front door, kitchen island, breakfast nook wall, or painted furniture. In bright daylight, Sparkling Sun reads crisp and sunny, while evening lighting can draw out its richer amber-gold side. Pair it with clean white trim for contrast, or temper its intensity with charcoal, deep navy, warm wood, and natural linen. Because this shade has considerable brightness and saturation, it is often most effective as an accent or on a carefully chosen focal wall.

LRV of Sparkling Sun
Sparkling Sun has an LRV of 58.15% 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 58.15%, 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.
