About Dalila
Dalila (319) is a light, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 77, Dalila 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 Dalila'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. It's very close to Lightning Bug (340); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Dalila changes with the light
Dalila 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
Dalila's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Dalila 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 Dalila can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Dalila will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
