What color is Benjamin Moore Lime Tart?
Benjamin Moore Lime Tart 2033-40 is a clear, lively medium green with a lightly cool, mint-leaning cast. Its brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the saturated green presence gives walls a crisp, energetic look. In strong daylight, Lime Tart can read cleaner and slightly fresher; warmer evening lighting may bring out a softer leafy quality. It suits a playful kitchen, laundry room, sunroom, or child’s space, and also makes a focused accent on built-ins or a painted door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural wood, matte black hardware, or soft blush and terracotta accents for contrast.

LRV of Lime Tart
Lime Tart has an LRV of 48.63% 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 48.63%, 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.
