Benjamin Moore

Corn Silk

CC-218 / 317

Corn Silk is a light, warm yellow with a slightly muted undertone that keeps it from reading too saturated. At an LRV of 81.08, it reflects a high amount of light, functioning almost like a tinted white in well-lit spaces. The yellow cast is soft enough for full-room application in kitchens, living areas, or children's rooms without visual fatigue.

Cloud White and White Dove coordinate closely for trim and ceiling treatments. Pale Oak adds a pink-beige shift for subtle variation, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green deliver strong directional contrast on doors or accent features.

Corn Silk 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.
