Benjamin Moore

Luminaire

374

Luminaire is a soft, muted yellow with an LRV of 71.8, placing it high on the reflectance scale. Its green undertones pull the hue away from a pure butter or gold and toward a cooler, slightly herbal register that prevents it from feeling overly warm. The result is a yellow that reads as restrained and somewhat neutral in well-lit conditions.

White Dove OC-17 and Simply White OC-117 serve as clean trim pairings, while Chelsea Gray HC-168 or Hale Navy HC-154 add definition. Pale Avocado 2146-40 and Soft Fern 2144-40 continue its green-leaning warmth.

Luminaire 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.
