Benjamin Moore

Cheerful

354

Cheerful is a bright yellow with a slight lime undertone and clear saturation. Its LRV of 67.68 makes it a light, high-reflectance color that stays vivid. It works in kitchens, playrooms, or accent areas where a strong yellow is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Limeade or Spring Meadow to keep the palette analogous. White Dove or Classic Gray neutralize the brightness, and Hale Navy or Hunter Green add contrast.
