About Yellow Finch
Yellow Finch (2024-40) is a light, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 70, Yellow Finch 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 Yellow Finch'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 Inner Glow (348); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
