Benjamin Moore

Sparkling Sun

2020-30

Sparkling Sun is a bold, fully saturated yellow with clear orange undertones, carrying an LRV of 58.15 that reflects a substantial amount of light despite its high chroma. The orange influence gives it a warmer lean compared to lemon or cool yellows, and it will read even warmer under incandescent lighting. On large surfaces it commands attention and can visually advance toward the viewer.

Pair it with Manchester Tan or White Dove to moderate its intensity, use Hale Navy for direct complementary contrast, and consider Hawthorne Yellow or Marblehead Gold for an analogous warm grouping.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
