Banana Yellow

2022-40

Banana Yellow is a bright yellow with warm undertones that keep it saturated. Its LRV of 74.58 is high, so it reflects ample light and reads vivid on walls. In low light it shifts slightly warmer.

It is suitable for kitchens, dining areas, or accent walls where a strong yellow is needed. Pair it with Coral Gables and Golden Honey for related warmth, and add White Dove or Caribbean Blue Water for contrast.
