Light to Dark
The whole C2 Paint yellow range by depth. LRV is the number to trust: the same yellow looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV (Light Reflectance Value) runs from 0 to 100 and tells you how bright a yellow will read in the room. Pale yellows reflect a lot of light and feel cheerful; deep golds absorb it and feel warm and grounded.
For a soft, light wall in a kitchen or breakfast nook, reach for the top of the range with Grits (C2-610) or Glimmer (C2-643), which warm a room without shouting. For a sunnier mid-tone, sit with Margarita (C2-657) or Polenta (C2-608). When you want a rich, saturated gold for an accent, a powder room, or a front door, drop to Torch (C2-618), Tapestry (C2-646), or Curry (C2-649). Yellow shows undertone shifts dramatically under different bulbs, so brush a real sample on the wall and look at it in both daylight and evening light before you buy a full order from your dealer.

What C2 Yellows Are Really Like
Yellow is a notoriously tricky color, easy to push toward acid or baby-nursery if the tinting is thin. C2's heavy, full-spectrum colorant load keeps its yellows reading as considered, layered colors that hold their warmth through changing light instead of turning sour at midday.
The family covers a real range. Grits (C2-610) is a pale, creamy yellow at the bright top, with Glimmer (C2-643) and Bees Knees (C2-642) just below as soft, livable warm tones. The middle, Margarita (C2-657), Polenta (C2-608), and Epernay (C2-639), reads like sunlight without the glare. Then the deck deepens into gold and ochre: Pale Ale (C2-622) and Chameleon (C2-653) sit in the muted middle, Torch (C2-618) is a rich amber, and Tapestry (C2-646) and Curry (C2-649) anchor the bottom as deep, earthy golds.
C2 Paint Yellow Paint FAQ
Will a C2 yellow look too bright on a whole wall?
It depends on the LRV. A pale, creamy pick like Grits (C2-610) or Glimmer (C2-643) reads soft and warm across a full wall, while a saturated gold like Torch (C2-618) is better used as an accent. Always sample it, since yellow shifts a lot under different light.
What is the deepest C2 yellow?
At the low end of the family you get earthy golds like Tapestry (C2-646) and Curry (C2-649), with Torch (C2-618) as a rich amber just above them. These read warm and grounded, well suited to accents, powder rooms, or a front door.
Why do C2 yellows hold up better than cheap yellows?
Yellow goes sour fast in thinly tinted paint. C2's heavy full-spectrum colorant load builds in more undertone complexity, so colors like Margarita (C2-657) or Polenta (C2-608) keep their warmth through changing light instead of turning acid at midday.
