What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Squash?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Squash 2161-50 is a light, muted yellow with a noticeable beige cast, reflected in its soft #E3C9AA color value. Rather than reading as a sharp or citrusy yellow, it has a gentle, low-saturation appearance that can feel warm and slightly sandy on the wall. Bright daylight may bring out its yellow presence, while lower or warmer artificial light can make its creamy tan undertone more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and children’s spaces where a quiet dose of color is wanted without overwhelming the room. Pair Yellow Squash with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and earthy brown or muted green accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Yellow Squash
Yellow Squash has an LRV of 60.24% 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 60.24%, 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.
