What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Finch?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Finch 2024-40 is a clear, light yellow with a softened golden cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its #ECDC71 color value gives it noticeable warmth and moderate saturation, so it reads cheerful on broad walls without becoming neon-like. In strong daylight, Yellow Finch can appear brighter and cleaner, while lower or warmer light brings out its mellow, sun-baked side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and children’s spaces, especially when balanced with warm white trim. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, soft gray-blue accents, or deep olive green for contrast.

LRV of Yellow Finch
Yellow Finch has an LRV of 68.04% 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 68.04%, 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.
