Top Banana

3008-1C

Top Banana is a bright butter yellow with a clear golden center. It announces itself. Laundry rooms, play spaces, or a sunny breakfast nook can handle the cheerful color.

Because it reflects a lot of light, the yellow will spread across nearby whites. Warm trim, pale wood, or soft gray stone can keep it balanced. Use large samples before painting every wall.

Top Banana 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.
