Benjamin Moore

Banana Cream

275 / TH-100

Banana Cream is a light yellow with a slight gray undertone that softens its warmth. The LRV of 67.48 provides moderate reflectance, so it stays light without appearing stark. Warm light brings the yellow note forward.

It is suitable for kitchens, living rooms, or hallways where a restrained yellow is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for trim, and add Soft Fern or Hale Navy for contrast.

Banana Cream 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
