Benjamin Moore

Lion Heart

306

Lion Heart is a medium-depth golden orange with creamy yellow undertones that soften its warmth and keep it from reading too bold on large surfaces. The yellow base mellows what would otherwise be a strong orange into something more approachable. With an LRV of 59.8, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, working in rooms with decent natural light.

Weston Flax and White Down coordinate within the same warm spectrum. Hale Navy or Sherwood Forest deliver the depth needed to balance its golden intensity.

Lion Heart 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.
