Benjamin Moore

Virginia Beach

917 / AF-315

Virginia Beach from Benjamin Moore is a yellow-tinged neutral with warm, creamy undertones that register clearly in both natural and artificial light. With an LRV of 72.47, it reflects a substantial amount of light, making it well suited for living areas, hallways, and kitchens where brightness is beneficial. The yellow base sits in a muted range, preventing it from reading as overtly golden.

Compatible pairings within the Benjamin Moore line include White Sand, Pale Almond, Hale Navy, Windmill Wings, and Spring Iris, each of which either reinforces or provides measured contrast to its warm neutral character.
