What color is Benjamin Moore Citrus Mist?
Benjamin Moore Citrus Mist 141 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast and a lightly peach-tinted warmth. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the yellow undertone gives it more presence than a plain off-white. In sunny rooms, Citrus Mist can read brighter and butterier; under cooler artificial light, it settles into a muted cream. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, and living areas where warm wood, woven fibers, and aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with warm white trim, sandy beige textiles, or muted olive and clay accents for contrast without making the room feel overly sharp.

LRV of Citrus Mist
Citrus Mist has an LRV of 78.21% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.21%, 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.
