Valspar

Bonjour

V016-3

Bonjour is a bright marigold yellow with a clean orange lean. The orange lean makes the yellow feel closer to marigold than lemon. Use it in small, purposeful doses, such as a pantry door, stool, or sunny breakfast nook.

LRV 60 sounds light, but the chroma makes it feel much stronger than many neutrals at that value. Pair with white walls, black hardware, or natural wood for control.

Bonjour 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.
