What color is Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow?
HC-4 Hawthorne Yellow by Benjamin Moore is inspired by America’s historic landmarks and is part of the Benjamin Moore Historical Collection. It brightens up a space that doesn't get a lot of natural lighting. Hawthorne Yellow is just the right balance of soft and bright but not too green or orange. It’s perfect not only for kitchens (it goes brilliantly with white and light gray cabinets) but also dining rooms, bathrooms, or dark nooks and crannies. For a traditional space pair with reds and greens or for a more contemporary space with shades of grey and beige.

LRV of Hawthorne Yellow
Hawthorne Yellow has an LRV of 74.45% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.45%, 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.
