What color is Benjamin Moore York Harbor Yellow?

Benjamin Moore York Harbor Yellow 2154-40 is a warm, medium-light yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a sharp lemon edge. Its #EAC17C color value gives it a gently muted, sun-warmed look that can feel richer in low light and lighter, creamier in bright daylight. Use it on kitchen or breakfast-room walls to bring warmth without making the room look intensely yellow. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door when paired with warm white trim. Natural oak, honey-toned wood, woven fibers, and muted blue-gray accents give York Harbor Yellow a grounded, lived-in contrast.

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).

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.
