What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Tone?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Tone 370 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a softened golden cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its moderate saturation gives it enough color to read clearly on walls while keeping the overall effect airy and bright. In direct daylight, Yellow Tone can appear cleaner and more luminous; under warm lamps, its golden side becomes more pronounced. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and cheerful hallways, especially with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven cane, or brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with muted blue-gray accents or deep olive green details.

LRV of Yellow Tone
Yellow Tone has an LRV of 58.73% 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 58.73%, 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.
