Morning Sunshine

2018-50

Morning Sunshine (2018-50) is a bright yellow-orange from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview Collection, with an LRV of 75.71 that makes it highly light-reflective. Its warm orange undertones keep it from reading as a pure yellow, giving walls a buttery, sun-washed quality. The hue sits in a range that pairs naturally with cooler counterparts -- try it alongside Ice Mist (2123-70) or Beacon Gray (2128-60) to temper the warmth, or lean into its golden character with Powder Sand (OC-113) and Stone Hearth (984).

Linen White (912) also works well as a clean trim option.
