Benjamin Moore

Falling Star

351

Falling Star is a light yellow with warm undertones and a slightly faded, muted character. It has an LRV of 84.83, making it highly reflective and well suited for rooms that need to maximize natural light. The warm yellow base reads soft rather than saturated, working in kitchens, living rooms, and nurseries.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Swiss Coffee, and Classic Gray for a neutral-forward scheme. Adding Hale Navy or Forest Green introduces contrast against the pale yellow ground.
