What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Marigold?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Marigold 2155-30 is a saturated golden yellow with a clear orange cast, giving it a sunny, warm appearance. Its medium depth keeps it bold enough for a focal wall, painted furniture, or a cheerful kitchen island without reading as neon. In bright daylight, this color can appear lively and radiant, while lower light may bring out its deeper honeyed side. Pair Yellow Marigold with creamy whites, warm clay tones, natural oak, and woven textures for a grounded look. For sharper contrast, use it alongside deep navy, charcoal, or muted blue-green accents.

LRV of Yellow Marigold
Yellow Marigold has an LRV of 42.29% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 42.29%, 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.
