What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Lilies?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Lilies 346 is a light, softened yellow with a creamy cast and a gently muted finish. Its #F4E8AE color value gives it a warm, low-intensity look that reads more like sun-faded butter than a sharp primary yellow. In bright daylight, Yellow Lilies can appear airy and pale, while evening lighting brings out its warmer golden-beige side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and hallways where a light wall color can add warmth without becoming overly vivid. Pair it with crisp white trim, natural oak, woven textures, or subdued greens and soft blue-grays for contrast.

LRV of Yellow Lilies
Yellow Lilies has an LRV of 75.88% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.88%, 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.
