Benjamin Moore

Sunshine

2021-30

Sunshine is a clear yellow with warm undertones that give it a direct, saturated appearance. An LRV of 60.81 places it in a balanced brightness range. It works well in kitchens, playrooms, or spaces intended to feel active.

The undertone prevents dullness under artificial light. It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Cloud Cover, while Blue Note and Baltic Sea provide darker contrast.
