Sherwin Williams

Pinky Beige

SW 0079

Benjamin Moore Yellow (2022-10) is a bold, saturated primary yellow at hex #FFD400 with an LRV of 60.59, reflecting a high level of light while delivering strong chromatic intensity. It registers as a true, warm yellow without significant orange or green drift, making it suited to studios, playrooms, and accent walls in modern or eclectic interiors. Deep blues like Blueberry Hill or Aegean Teal create sharp complementary contrast, while analogous options such as Sunbeam and Banana Yellow keep the palette warm, and muted neutrals like Stone Harbor or Nimbus moderate its brightness.
