Benjamin Moore

Mellow Yellow

2020-50

Mellow Yellow (2020-50) is a pale, saturated yellow with warm golden undertones and a faint cream base. With an LRV of 77.54, it reflects a significant amount of light, making it well suited for spaces that benefit from brightness without stark white. The hue leans slightly toward the warm end of the yellow spectrum, carrying soft buttery and apricot undertones rather than any green or cool lemon cast.

It coordinates well with Cotton Balls OC-122 and Gray Lake 2138-70 for a clean contrast, or with Mascarpone AF-20 and Light of the Moon 365 for a warmer, tonal approach.
