What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Lime?
Benjamin Moore Dark Lime 2027-10 is a vivid yellow-green with a clear chartreuse cast and strong saturation. Its bright, energetic character reads warmer than a leafy green, thanks to the pronounced yellow in the color. In direct daylight, Dark Lime feels fresh and punchy; under softer artificial light, it can take on a deeper, slightly olive-leaning appearance. It makes a bold choice for a powder room, breakfast nook, painted door, or a single run of cabinetry. Pair it with clean white trim, charcoal accents, pale woods, or matte black hardware to give its intensity a grounded contrast.

LRV of Dark Lime
Dark Lime 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.
