Benjamin Moore

Crowne Hill Yellow

312

Crowne Hill Yellow is a medium yellow from Benjamin Moore with a distinct melon undertone that adds warmth beyond a standard yellow. With an LRV of 70.4, it reflects a high amount of light and can noticeably brighten a room. The warm, slightly peachy cast makes it suitable for kitchens, dining spaces, and other areas where an active backdrop is useful.

For a clean contrast, it pairs well with White Dove or Cloud White. Deeper options like Hale Navy or Black Forest Green provide a bolder complement, while Lemon Chiffon keeps the palette warm and tonal.
