About Sundance
Sundance (2022-50) is a very light, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 87, Sundance 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 Sundance'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 Lemon Meringue (2023-50); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Sundance changes with the light
Sundance 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
Sundance's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Sundance 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 Sundance can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Sundance will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
