What color is Benjamin Moore Lime Ricky?
Benjamin Moore Lime Ricky 393 is a very light yellow-green with a soft, creamy cast that keeps it from reading sharp or neon. In bright daylight, its pale citrus tint is more noticeable, while lower or warmer light can make it appear closer to a gentle butter yellow. This shade is especially suited to kitchens, breakfast nooks, laundry rooms, or children’s spaces where a light wall color can add a little lift without overwhelming the room. Pair Lime Ricky with warm white trim, pale natural wood, woven textures, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for a relaxed, layered palette. Its low depth also makes it a useful choice for cabinetry or a small accent wall when a full room of color feels like too much.

LRV of Lime Ricky
Lime Ricky has an LRV of 84.22% 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 84.22%, 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.
