What color is Benjamin Moore Lemon Twist?
Benjamin Moore Lemon Twist 394 is a very light yellow-green with a softened, creamy cast rather than a sharp citrus look. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the green undertone gives it a fresher edge than a standard butter yellow. In bright daylight, Lemon Twist can read as a clean pastel chartreuse; under warm evening lighting, it appears more mellow and yellow. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, or a child’s room where a gentle dose of color is wanted without a dark or heavy finish. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted blue-green or leafy green accents.

LRV of Lemon Twist
Lemon Twist has an LRV of 79.08% 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 79.08%, 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.
