What color is Benjamin Moore Exotic Lime?
Benjamin Moore Exotic Lime 399 is a bright yellow-green with a golden, almost citrusy cast rather than a cool grassy look. Its high saturation gives it real presence, especially in daylight, where the yellow content becomes more noticeable. In lower or warmer artificial light, this color can read a little deeper and more olive-leaning. Exotic Lime is best used as an accent wall, painted cabinet color, or energetic detail in a kitchen, mudroom, or creative workspace. Pair it with crisp white, charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, or matte black for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Exotic Lime
Exotic Lime has an LRV of 52.17% 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 52.17%, 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.
