What color is Benjamin Moore Yin Yang?
Benjamin Moore Yin Yang 824 is a medium blue with a softened, gray-leaning cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is most apparent in daylight, while warmer artificial lighting can bring out a slightly gentler, more muted look. Yin Yang has enough depth for full walls in a bedroom, office, or powder room without making the color feel overly dark. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, or brushed brass for contrast. It also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall.

LRV of Yin Yang
Yin Yang has an LRV of 23.2% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.2%, 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.
