What color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Topaz?
Benjamin Moore Yellow Topaz CSP-945 is a softened golden yellow with a sandy, slightly muted cast rather than a bright citrus look. Its warm beige undertone keeps the color grounded, giving it enough depth for a sunny dining room, kitchen, or entryway without reading overly intense. In strong daylight, Yellow Topaz can appear lighter and more buttery, while lower or warmer light brings forward its mellow ochre-gold quality. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass for a layered, earthy palette. It is especially effective on walls or built-in cabinetry where its warmth can be appreciated across a larger surface.
LRV of Yellow Topaz
Yellow Topaz has an LRV of 61.95% 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 61.95%, 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.
