What color is Benjamin Moore Lime Twist?
Benjamin Moore Lime Twist 425 is a light, leafy yellow-green with a clear springlike cast rather than a muted olive base. Its noticeable yellow undertone keeps the color warm and sunny, while the green gives it enough freshness for kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or a child’s room. In bright daylight, Lime Twist reads crisp and lively; under softer evening lighting, it can appear gentler and slightly more muted. Pair it with clean white trim, pale natural wood, woven rattan, or soft gray-beige fabrics to keep the palette grounded. It has enough presence for full walls, but also makes a cheerful choice for painted cabinetry or an accent door.

LRV of Lime Twist
Lime Twist has an LRV of 53.98% 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 53.98%, 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.
