What color is Benjamin Moore Apple Lime Cocktail?
Benjamin Moore Apple Lime Cocktail 420 is a clear, mid-tone yellow-green with a lively, sunlit cast. Its green base keeps it grounded, while the noticeable yellow influence gives it a brighter, warmer look than a muted leaf green. In strong daylight, this color can read crisp and energetic; lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its softer olive-leaning side. Apple Lime Cocktail suits a kitchen island, mudroom cabinetry, garden-facing breakfast nook, or a cheerful accent wall rather than an entire low-light room. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, charcoal details, or deep blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Apple Lime Cocktail
Apple Lime Cocktail has an LRV of 37.3% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 37.3%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
