Silent Ripple

SW 9682

Ylang Ylang by Benjamin Moore, hex #F4E9CE, is a very light yellow with subtle orange undertones that give it a faintly warm, creamy cast. Its LRV of 79.5 places it in the high-reflectance range, meaning it reads close to an off-white while retaining just enough yellow pigment to distinguish it from true neutrals. The orange undertone keeps it from appearing lemony or cool.

Natural Cream and Golden Straw offer analogous warm pairings, Hale Navy and Evening Dove create sharp dark-light contrast, and Fernwood Green provides a muted complementary green connection.

Silent Ripple 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.

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.
