What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow?
Benjamin Moore Yellow 2022-10 is a high-chroma, clear yellow with a distinctly sunny, near-primary appearance. Its #FFD400 value reads bright and warm, without the muted cast that makes many yellows feel earthy or creamy. In direct daylight, it can look crisp and energetic; under warmer evening bulbs, it takes on a richer golden glow. Use this shade where a concentrated hit of color is wanted—on a front door, kitchen island, painted chair, or small accent wall—rather than across every wall of a large room. Clean white, charcoal gray, deep navy, natural oak, and black metal give Yellow a grounded contrast.

LRV of Yellow
Yellow has an LRV of 60.59% 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 60.59%, 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.
