Benjamin Moore

Baby Chick

2023-20

Baby Chick is a bright yellow with a subtle green undertone that keeps the hue slightly sharp. With an LRV of 55.21, it reflects mid-to-high light and can appear stronger in direct sun. Under warm lamps the green note softens.

It is suitable for kitchens, play areas, or accent walls where a clear yellow is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Cloud White for lighter balance, and use Hale Navy or Deep River for contrast.
