Benjamin Moore

Barley

199 / CC-180

Barley is a muted yellow with soft warm undertones that keep it restrained. Its LRV of 67.55 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it reads light without looking stark. Warm light makes the yellow tone more pronounced.

It is suitable for kitchens, bedrooms, or hallways where a soft yellow is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Linen White for light balance, and add Hawthorne Yellow or Hale Navy for contrast.
