Benjamin Moore

Bright Yellow

2022-30

Bright Yellow is a medium yellow with warm undertones. The warm cast is stronger under incandescent light. Its LRV of 65.05 makes it a light, reflective color that reads strong in daylight.

It works in kitchens, dining rooms, or play areas where a clear yellow is needed. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Lemon Sorbet and Suntan Yellow for a tonal range, and with Newburyport Blue or Hunter Green for contrast; Chantilly Lace can keep trim crisp.
