Aura

Aura is a Yellow paint color from Benjamin Moore, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
