How it reads
Moonlight — now sold by Benjamin Moore under the name Sicilian Lemon, same number 2020-60 — is a pale, clear butter yellow with an LRV of 83. It is light enough to behave like a tinted white in a bright room and cheerful enough to make a north-facing one feel as if the sun came out.
It is a children's-room classic for good reason, but it grows up quickly with patterned curtains, a sisal rug and a little terracotta. In warm evening light it turns golden; against cool white trim it looks freshest.

Questions
Is Moonlight still available?
Yes — Benjamin Moore now lists 2020-60 as Sicilian Lemon. Ask for it by number.
Is Moonlight too bright?
It is a pale yellow rather than a saturated one. In a sunny room it reads as a warm white; in a dim room it reads as a soft, clear yellow.
