What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Rain Coat?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Rain Coat 2020-40 is a clear, high-energy golden yellow with a warm, sunlit cast. Its bright value keeps it lively on walls, especially in kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or children’s spaces where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. In strong daylight, Yellow Rain Coat reads crisp and cheerful, while evening lighting can bring out its deeper honeyed side. Pair it with clean white trim for contrast, charcoal or navy accents for definition, or natural oak and woven textures to emphasize its warmth. It also has enough presence for a painted front door, a single cabinet bank, or a bold interior accent.

LRV of Yellow Rain Coat
Yellow Rain Coat has an LRV of 68.87% 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 68.87%, 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.
