Benjamin Moore

Barely Yellow

2025-70

Barely Yellow is a very light yellow with subtle green undertones that keep it restrained. The LRV of 88.44 is high, so it reflects substantial light and reads near-white in bright rooms. Warm light makes the yellow-green note more visible.

It is suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, or ceilings where a light yellow is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for trim, and add Palladian Blue or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.
