Benjamin Moore

Majestic Yellow

355

Majestic Yellow is a medium-saturation yellow with discernible green undertones that pull it away from golden or buttery territory. Its LRV of 62.13 gives it solid light reflectance without the washed-out quality of paler yellows, so it maintains clear color identity on walls. The green lean becomes more apparent in north-facing light, while southern exposure draws out its warmer side.

It pairs well with Classic Gray or Simply White for grounding, takes on contrast effectively against Hale Navy or Forest Green, and blends with Pale Moon or Weston Flax for a tonal progression.
