Benjamin Moore

Shooting Star

304

Shooting Star has an LRV of 76.63, making it a high-reflectance shade that reads as a warm, buttery yellow-orange under most lighting conditions. The hex #FCE6B0 shows a saturated yellow base softened by peach undertones, which become more visible under incandescent light. In daylight, the color leans closer to a clear golden tone.

Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow and Suntan Yellow sit in an analogous range for layered warm schemes. For cooler contrast, Beach Glass or Tranquil Blue offset the warmth effectively, and Silhouette adds a deep anchor when used on cabinetry or trim details.
