What color is Benjamin Moore Suntan Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Suntan Yellow 2155-50 is a light, buttery yellow with a soft golden cast and a gently muted finish. Its pale depth keeps it from reading as harsh or citrusy, while the warmth gives walls a noticeable sunny presence. In bright daylight, Suntan Yellow can appear creamy and luminous; under warmer evening bulbs, it settles into a richer honeyed yellow. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and hallways where a clear wash of warmth is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and subdued green or blue-gray accents to keep the room grounded.

LRV of Suntan Yellow
Suntan Yellow has an LRV of 70.45% 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 70.45%, 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.
