Benjamin Moore

Sunflower Fields

174

Sunflower is a clear yellow with a slight orange undertone that adds warmth without shifting toward gold. An LRV of 57.32 places it in the mid-light range, offering noticeable brightness with some visual weight. It can be used in kitchens or dining spaces where color presence is intentional.

The undertone helps prevent it from appearing green or flat. It combines well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White, while Blue Note and Deep Royal provide controlled contrast.

Sunflower Fields in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
