What color is Benjamin Moore Lemon Ice?
Benjamin Moore Lemon Ice OC-114 is a very light creamy yellow with a softened, off-white appearance. Its pale yellow cast brings gentle warmth to walls without reading as bright or saturated. In strong daylight, this shade can look close to a warm white, while lower or warmer lighting tends to reveal more of its buttery character. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, nurseries, and softly lit hallways, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, or light stone. Lemon Ice also pairs well with muted greens, dusty blue accents, and charcoal details that give its light warmth a crisp contrast.

LRV of Lemon Ice
Lemon Ice has an LRV of 88.37% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 88.37%, 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.
