Benjamin Moore

Bumble Bee Yellow

2020-10

Bumble Bee Yellow is a warm yellow with a slight orange undertone. Its LRV of 49.59 puts it in the mid range, so it stays bright without reading pastel. It works in kitchens, breakfast areas, or playrooms where higher color energy is acceptable.

Use Benjamin Moore White Dove or Stone Harbor for lighter balance. Sunburst and Hale Navy provide either adjacent warmth or strong contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
