Sunrays

343

Sunrays is a strong yellow with warm undertones that remain consistent across lighting conditions. An LRV of 57.78 places it in the mid-range, giving it presence without excessive brightness. It is appropriate for playrooms, kitchens, or accent applications.

The undertone prevents it from appearing acidic. It combines well with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Pale Oak for balance, while Blue Dragon and Seafoam introduce cooler contrast.
