What color is Benjamin Moore Sunflower Fields?

Benjamin Moore Sunflower Fields 174 is a clear golden yellow with a warm, lightly orange cast that keeps it bright without reading neon. Its high saturation gives it real presence, especially on an accent wall, kitchen island, or painted front door. In direct daylight, the color appears sunny and vivid, while evening lighting can bring out its deeper honey-gold side. Pair it with crisp warm whites, charcoal, deep navy, or leafy greens for contrast, and use natural oak, rattan, or aged brass to reinforce its warmth. On larger walls, it suits spaces that benefit from an energetic dose of color, such as a breakfast nook, playroom, or creative workspace.

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 49.07%, 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.
