What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Roses?

Benjamin Moore Yellow Roses 353 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a creamy golden cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft saturation gives it enough color to read clearly in a kitchen, breakfast nook, or child’s room. In direct daylight, Yellow Roses can appear clean and luminous; warmer evening bulbs pull forward its buttery, honeyed quality. Pair it with crisp white trim for a fresh contrast, or use pale oak, woven natural fibers, and muted blue-gray accents to temper its warmth. It is especially effective on walls or painted cabinetry when a room needs a noticeable yet gentle dose of yellow.

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 73.53%, 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.
