Benjamin Moore

Soleil

AF-330

Soleil is a warm yellow with soft golden undertones and an LRV of 79.4, placing it in the high-reflectance range suitable for brightening enclosed or north-facing rooms. The warmth reads clearly without veering into orange territory, maintaining a clean yellow cast under both natural and artificial light. It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Soft Fern for an analogous pairing, while Balboa Mist and Cloud Cover serve as neutral companions.

Newburg Green and Hale Navy offer strong contrast options that ground the brightness of this shade without competing with its warmth.
