What color is Benjamin Moore Sulfur Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Sulfur Yellow 2151-40 is a softened golden yellow with a muted, earthy cast rather than a bright citrus look. Its #D2BA7F color value reads as warm and moderately light, with beige and ochre undertones that keep the yellow grounded. In sunny rooms, Sulfur Yellow can appear more golden, while lower or cooler light may bring out its subdued tan side. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or painted furniture where a clear but not overly sharp dose of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, charcoal accents, or dusty blue textiles for contrast.

LRV of Sulfur Yellow
Sulfur Yellow has an LRV of 48.99% 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 48.99%, 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.
