Benjamin Moore

Laguna Yellow

291

Laguna Yellow is a balanced medium yellow with warm, slightly golden undertones that keep it from reading too sharp or acidic on the wall. At an LRV of 64.49, it reflects a good amount of light without washing out, making it functional in kitchens, living rooms, and entryways. The warmth here is moderate rather than buttery, holding its own under both natural and artificial light.

It pairs well with White Dove, Classic Gray, and Hawthorne Yellow for tonal warmth, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green provide strong contrast.

Laguna Yellow in Different Light
