What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Brick Road?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Brick Road 349 is a clear, sunlit golden yellow with a warm, gently softened cast rather than a sharp lemon edge. Its medium-light depth gives it enough color to hold its own on a full wall, especially in kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, or children’s spaces. In bright daylight, Yellow Brick Road reads lively and cheerful; under warmer evening lighting, it can look richer and more honeyed. Pair it with creamy white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, or muted blue-gray accents to keep the yellow grounded. It also makes a focused statement on cabinetry, a painted door, or the back of open shelving.

LRV of Yellow Brick Road
Yellow Brick Road has an LRV of 58.19% 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 58.19%, 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.
