Benjamin Moore

Lighthouse

2018-60

Lighthouse reads as a pale butter yellow with a faint orange undertone that keeps it from skewing green or lemon. At an LRV of 82.85, it reflects a high amount of light and remains close to white on the wall, with the color becoming most apparent in shadow areas and corners. Simply White and Swiss Coffee pair well as trim, maintaining warmth without competition.

Guilford Green or Palladian Blue introduce cooler accents that balance the yellow base. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide reliable deep contrast.

Lighthouse in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
