Cambridge Heights

276

Cambridge Heights is a classic yellow with warm undertones. Its LRV of 66.75 keeps it in the light range while maintaining color. It works in kitchens, dining rooms, or hallways that need a warm yellow.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for light trim. Knoxville Gray, Fernwood Green, or Soft Pumpkin provide contrast or adjacent tones. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Cambridge Heights in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
