About Fiesta Yellow
Fiesta Yellow (341) is a light, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 73, Fiesta Yellow 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 Fiesta Yellow'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 Sunbeam (328); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Fiesta Yellow changes with the light

North-facing rooms

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Fiesta Yellow can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Fiesta Yellow will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
