What color is Benjamin Moore Sun Valley?

Benjamin Moore Sun Valley 350 is a warm, golden yellow with a noticeable ochre cast and lively saturation. Its #E4BC3B color value reads brighter in daylight, while evening lighting can bring out its deeper, more earthy gold notes. Use it as an accent wall, on a painted kitchen island, or for a cheerful front door where its richness can take center stage. Creamy whites, warm off-whites, natural oak, tan leather, and matte black details give this shade a grounded setting. In larger rooms, Sun Valley is best balanced with quieter neutrals and plenty of natural light.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 49.86%, 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.
