Royal Linen

931

Royal Linen is a soft, warm yellow with an LRV of 77.85, placing it high on the reflectance scale where it reads as an airy, light-filled tone. The base carries undertones of raw linen and pale gold, which become more evident in warm lighting. Under cooler daylight it can appear close to an off-white with a faint yellow cast.

Benjamin Moore Pale Moon and Lemon Chiffon share its warm yellow family at similar saturation levels. Hale Navy and Charcoal Slate provide strong dark contrast, while White Dove and Classic Gray work as closely related neutrals.
