Benjamin Moore

Man on the Moon

OC-106 / 929

Man on the Moon is an ultra-soft pale yellow with a muted, almost chalky quality that keeps it from reading overtly sunny. Its LRV of 80.76 places it near the top of the light-reflectance range, so it behaves almost like an off-white in well-lit rooms while retaining a faint golden warmth in lower light. The yellow undertone is subdued enough to avoid clashing with cooler tones nearby.

White Dove and Simply White work as clean trim companions, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply sharp contrast. Saybrook Sage or Beach Glass complement its warmth without competing.

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.
