Benjamin Moore

America's Heartland

197

Americas Heartland is an ultra-sheer yellow with a warm, slightly creamy base that keeps it from looking stark or acidic. With an LRV of 77.71, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as barely tinted in bright rooms, becoming more noticeably yellow under artificial or evening light. It works in kitchens, hallways, and breakfast areas where a subtle lift in warmth is the intent.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Swiss Coffee coordinate closely on trim, Saybrook Sage offers a muted green complement, and Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy can define doors or cabinetry.

America's Heartland in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
