SW 9617

Yosemite Yellow (hex #E1CA84) is an earthy, muted yellow with noticeable warm undertones that shift it toward a soft goldenrod territory. At an LRV of 57.19, it reflects light well and reads as a substantial mid-tone rather than a pale tint. The earthy cast prevents it from appearing overly bright or synthetic.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee pair cleanly as lighter neutrals alongside it, while Hale Navy provides a strong dark contrast. Golden Straw and Pale Avocado work as analogous companions that maintain a consistent warm, nature-derived palette across connected spaces.

Beachcomber in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
