Benjamin Moore

You Are My Sunshine

302

You Are My Sunshine (Benjamin Moore) is a pale, warm yellow with buttery undertones and negligible green or orange bias. At an LRV of 82.91, it falls in the high-reflectance category, making it functional as a near-neutral that reads as a tinted white in lower light conditions. The saturation level is low, keeping the hue subtle and restrained.

Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include White Dove for an almost tone-on-tone trim option, Simply White for a crisper contrast, Fernwood Green for a muted complementary accent, Van Deusen Blue for deeper contrast, and Palladian Blue for a cool analogous balance.
