Benjamin Moore

Light Yellow

2022-60

Light Yellow has an LRV of 84.31, placing it among the higher-reflectance yellows that stay close to white on the wall. The undertone is a straightforward warm yellow with very little green or orange pull, which keeps it reading clean and unambiguous. It holds its hue best in north-facing rooms where cooler ambient light lets the yellow come forward.

White Dove or Simply White work as trim without adding competing warmth. For contrast, Hale Navy or Essex Green ground the palette, and pale greens offer a natural analogous pairing.
