About Copacabana
Copacabana (284) is a light, medium-strength yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 77, Copacabana reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Copacabana's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms and entryways. Next to Sunshine on the Bay (347), it's cooler.
How Copacabana changes with the light
Copacabana is a warm white, so it stays soft rather than gray in north-facing rooms and looks creamier in strong south or west sun.
North-facing rooms
Copacabana's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Copacabana will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Copacabana can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Copacabana will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
