What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Lotus?

Benjamin Moore Yellow Lotus 2021-50 is a light, sunny yellow with a creamy cast that keeps its color from looking sharp or acidic. Its high-lightness value gives it an airy presence on broad walls, while the soft golden warmth is still noticeable in daylight. In brighter rooms, Yellow Lotus can read as a clean butter-yellow; under warmer evening lighting, it may appear richer and more honeyed. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a cheerful ceiling, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and muted blue or leafy green accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 79.2%, 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.
