Benjamin Moore

Light Daffodil

2027-60

Light Daffodil is a high-reflectance yellow-green with an LRV of 82.2, making it nearly as light as most off-whites but with noticeably more chromatic content. Its green undertone is the defining characteristic, pulling the color away from a straight yellow toward a chartreuse-adjacent range. It harmonizes with Soft Fern and Pale Sea Mist, both of which echo its green leanings.

Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate anchor it effectively when contrast is needed. Simply White or Chantilly Lace work as clean trim options that allow the color's personality to come forward.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
