Yellow Iris (2038-50) by Benjamin Moore is a pale, muted yellow with a notable beige-cream cast, registering an LRV of 77.43. The hex value #F2E9C1 reveals reduced yellow saturation tempered by warm tan undertones, giving it a softer, less chromatic appearance than pure yellows. It functions closer to a tinted neutral than a bold color statement.

Within the Benjamin Moore palette, it coordinates with Simply White and White Dove for tonal consistency, Hale Navy for contrast, and Pale Vista and Windy Sky as adjacent cool-toned complements.
