Beacon Hill Damask

HC-2

Beacon Hill Damask is a soft yellow with a slight green undertone that keeps it muted. Its LRV of 68.05 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it reads light on walls. Warm light brings the green note forward.

It is suitable for kitchens, dining rooms, or bedrooms where a light yellow is needed. Pair it with Guilford Green and Alexandria Beige for coordination, and add Van Deusen Blue or Amherst Gray for contrast.
