What color is Benjamin Moore Limelight?
Benjamin Moore Limelight 2025-40 is a bright, light yellow-green with a clear citrus cast. Its high value keeps it airy, while the green undertone gives it more energy than a soft butter yellow. In daylight, Limelight can read crisp and lemony; under warmer bulbs, it may lean toward a sunnier yellow-green. It suits playful kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s spaces, or a single accent wall, and can also make small cabinetry stand out. Pair it with clean white trim, pale wood, charcoal details, or deep leafy greens for contrast.

LRV of Limelight
Limelight has an LRV of 68.14% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.14%, 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.
