Benjamin Moore

Amarillo

320

Amarillo by Benjamin Moore is a bright, saturated yellow with warm undertones that lean slightly toward gold. With an LRV of 68.49, it reflects a good amount of light while still delivering strong color presence on walls. It works well in kitchens, playrooms, or hallways where an energetic but controlled tone is useful.

Because of its warmth, it sits comfortably alongside Benjamin Moore colors such as Swiss Coffee, White Sand, Hale Navy, Hunter Green, and Peach Parfait, allowing for both high-contrast and analogous pairings depending on the surrounding palette.
