What color is Benjamin Moore Citron?
Benjamin Moore Citron 2024-30 is a clear, high-energy yellow with a slightly green-leaning cast that keeps it from reading as a simple sunny gold. Its strong saturation makes it most effective in spaces that can handle a lively shot of color, such as a breakfast nook, mudroom, pantry, or a painted interior door. In bright daylight, Citron appears crisp and almost citrusy, while lower or warmer light can bring out its deeper golden-olive side. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal, deep navy, or natural wood to give the color some visual grounding. It is especially compelling on cabinetry, trim, or an accent wall, where its intensity can be enjoyed without overtaking an entire room.

LRV of Citron
Citron has an LRV of 52.2% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 52.2%, 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.
