Danse du Soleil

CC-212 / 305

Danse du Soleil is a warm yellow with noticeable orange undertones, giving it a distinctly sunny character. It has an LRV of 66.95, meaning it reflects a substantial amount of light and reads as a bright, open tone on walls. The warmth in this shade keeps it from feeling stark or cool.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Summer Sun Yellow, Buttercup, Hale Navy, White Dove, and Classic Gray, covering both tonal and contrasting pairings. This color suits kitchens, dining rooms, and other spaces that benefit from warm ambient light.
