What color is Benjamin Moore Lemon?
Benjamin Moore Lemon 2021-20 is a vivid, high-saturation golden yellow with a distinctly warm cast. Its #FFC400 color value gives it a clear, sunlit appearance that reads brighter and more energetic than a muted ochre or buttery yellow. In direct daylight, Lemon looks crisp and intensely yellow, while warm artificial light can pull out its richer gold tones. It is best used where a strong color statement is welcome: on a front door, kitchen island, dining chairs, shelving, or a single accent wall. Pair it with clean white, charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, or black metal for contrast that keeps the yellow feeling intentional rather than overwhelming.

LRV of Lemon
Lemon has an LRV of 54.51% 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 54.51%, 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.
