What color is Benjamin Moore Sunny Days?
Benjamin Moore Sunny Days 172 is a clear, sunlit golden yellow with a warm orange cast rather than a lemony edge. Its medium-light depth and noticeable saturation give walls a cheerful presence without reading neon. In strong daylight, Sunny Days looks bright and golden; lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its honeyed, slightly amber quality. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, playrooms, and front doors where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, terracotta tile, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Sunny Days
Sunny Days has an LRV of 64.03% 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 64.03%, 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.
