What color is Benjamin Moore Lime Accent?
Benjamin Moore Lime Accent 407 is a light, softly tinted yellow-green with a fresh, pastel appearance. Its pale value keeps it airy on larger walls, while the green cast becomes more noticeable beside white trim or cool gray furnishings. In bright daylight, Lime Accent can read crisp and lightly citrusy; under warm indoor bulbs, it may lean creamier and more yellow. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, especially when paired with warm whites, natural oak, woven textures, or muted blue-gray accents. Use this shade on walls for a gentle wash of color, or on a small cabinet or interior door where its light green character can stand out.

LRV of Lime Accent
Lime Accent has an LRV of 81.39% 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 81.39%, 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.
