Yellowstone

202 / HC-10

Yellowstone (BM) is a mid-toned amber yellow with noticeable orange-gold undertones, reflected in its hex value (#DEB866). It has an LRV of 47.74, placing it squarely in the medium reflectance range, meaning it neither significantly brightens nor darkens a surface. The warm base leans toward ochre rather than lemon, giving it a subdued saturation.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with Weston Flax, White Dove, Cloud White, Van Deusen Blue, and Soft Yellow, offering options for both neutral backdrops and contrasting accents.

Yellowstone in Different Light

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
