About Spice Market
Spice Market (CSP-925) is a deep, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 37, Spice Market absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Spice Market'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 Gibson Gold (378), it's warmer and more colorful.
How Spice Market changes with the light
Spice Market has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms

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