Benjamin Moore

Sunflower

2019-30

Sunflower Fields is a deep yellow with earthy ochre undertones that reduce brightness and add warmth. With an LRV of 49.07, it sits near the midpoint, balancing color saturation and light absorption. It works well on accent walls or in dining areas where warmth is desired.

The undertones keep it grounded rather than vivid. It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Chestertown Buff and Golden Straw for continuity, while Forest Green and Blue Note add depth and contrast.
