Benjamin Moore

Glimmer

342

Glimmer is a clear, saturated yellow with slight warm undertones that give it energy without veering into orange territory. With an LRV of 64.83, it reflects considerable light, making it functional in kitchens, breakfast rooms, or creative spaces where brightness is beneficial. The straightforward yellow quality reads as direct rather than muted.

This shade coordinates with Benjamin Moore Silver Mist and Gray Owl for cool contrast, Lemon Ice and Sunbeam for analogous harmony, and Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for grounding depth.
