About Sundial

Sundial (CC-400) is a light, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 68, Sundial has visible color without darkening a room much.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Sundial's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Handmade (AF-325); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Sundial changes with the light

Sundial 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.

N

North-facing rooms

Sundial's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

E

East-facing rooms

Sundial will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Sundial can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Sundial will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
