Benjamin Moore

Vellum

207 / CC-200

Vellum is a mellow, warm yellow from Benjamin Moore with golden undertones that give it a soft, sun-toned quality. At an LRV of 63.25, it sits in the mid-light range, bright enough to add warmth to a room without reflecting as much light as a pale cream or off-white. The yellow is restrained rather than saturated, which prevents it from dominating a space.

It coordinates with White Dove and Simply White for warm trim pairings, and contrasts well against Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal. Palladian Blue and Saybrook Sage provide cool-toned balance.

Vellum 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.

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.
