What color is Benjamin Moore Sunbeam?
Benjamin Moore Sunbeam 328 is a bright, clear yellow with a warm golden cast and a soft, sunlit quality. Its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the color still has enough saturation to read as a deliberate yellow rather than a cream. In direct daylight, Sunbeam can appear lively and almost buttery; under warmer indoor bulbs, its golden undertone becomes more pronounced. It suits cheerful kitchens, breakfast nooks, playrooms, or a painted interior door, especially when paired with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, and muted blue-gray accents. For a smaller dose, use this color on cabinetry, shelves, or a feature wall where its warmth can stand out without covering the entire room.
LRV of Sunbeam
Sunbeam has an LRV of 68.74% 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 68.74%, 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.
