Yellow Topaz

CSP-945

Yellow Topaz (BM) is a medium-saturated yellow with warm golden undertones and a slight orange lean visible in its hex value (#ECD093). It registers an LRV of 61.95, placing it in the mid-to-upper range of light reflectance. The color reads as a muted golden yellow rather than a pure primary yellow, owing to its brown-tinged base.

Suitable pairings within Benjamin Moore include White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Saybrook Sage, which provide both tonal harmony and value contrast.
