Benjamin Moore

Yellow Marigold

2155-30

Yellow Marigold (2155-30) by Benjamin Moore is a deep yellow-orange with an LRV of 42.29, placing it in the medium-low reflectance range. The hex #EAA731 confirms a strong amber-gold character with pronounced orange undertones and no cool bias. It reads as a mid-depth, high-chroma warm tone rather than a conventional yellow.

Recommended Benjamin Moore pairings include Golden Straw for a lighter analogous option, Blue Note for complementary contrast, Forest Green for a split-complementary scheme, and White Dove and Pale Oak as neutral balancers.
