About Sun City
Sun City (352) is a very light, medium-strength yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 83, Sun City 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 Sun City'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 Storm (359); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Sun City changes with the light

North-facing rooms

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