Yellow Hibiscus

357

Benjamin Moore Yellow Hibiscus (2043-30) is a deep yellow with a chartreuse undertone contributed by a green bias in the pigment mix, registering an LRV of 54.88 at hex #E2C839. The green-yellow lean differentiates it from warmer golden yellows, producing a slightly acidic, yellow-green character at moderate reflectance. Saturation is moderately high, giving it noticeable color presence.

Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include Hale Navy, Manchester Tan, Fernwood Green, and Chantilly Lace, supporting complementary, neutral, analogous, and high-contrast white coordination.
