Benjamin Moore

Light of the Moon

365

Light of the Moon is a very pale yellow with an LRV of 82.39, registering at the high end of the reflectance scale. Its warm yellow undertone is gentle but persistent enough to separate it clearly from cooler whites, particularly under artificial lighting where the warmth becomes more pronounced. It pairs naturally with White Dove or Swiss Coffee, both of which share a similar warm bias.

Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide firm contrast for accent elements. Saybrook Sage or Pale Oak round out a broader scheme, adding green and taupe tones respectively.

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.
