220

Benjamin Moore Yellow Bisque (OC-49) is a light yellow with prominent creamy beige undertones, registering an LRV of 65.89 at hex #E8D6AB. The beige component mutes the yellow saturation considerably, shifting it toward a warm neutral with discernible tan and gold leanings. It reflects light efficiently without producing the intensity associated with purer yellows.

Within the Benjamin Moore catalog, it coordinates with White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Woodlawn Blue, offering combinations that range from tone-on-tone neutrals to deeper contrasting anchors.
