Benjamin Moore

Vernazza Yellow

325

Vernazza Yellow (Benjamin Moore) is a light, clean yellow with warm undertones that lean toward butter rather than gold. Its LRV of 79.34 places it in the high-reflectance range, meaning it will bounce a significant amount of light back into a room and read as noticeably bright on large surfaces. The warmth in this yellow is moderate, avoiding both the coolness of lemon tones and the heaviness of ochre.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Chelsea Gray, and Spring Meadow for contrast or tonal continuity.

Vernazza Yellow 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.
