What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Oxide?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Oxide 2154-10 is a rich golden ochre with an earthy brown base that keeps its yellow presence grounded rather than bright. Its moderate depth and noticeable saturation make it especially effective for a front door, built-in cabinet, dining room accent wall, or painted furniture. In sunny light, Yellow Oxide reads warmer and more golden; under lower or cooler light, its ochre and brown notes become more pronounced. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, or warm terracotta for a layered palette, and bring in walnut, aged brass, or natural linen to echo its mineral-like warmth.

LRV of Yellow Oxide
Yellow Oxide has an LRV of 30.23% and refers to Medium 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 30.23%, 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.
