What color is Benjamin Moore Limesicle?
Benjamin Moore Limesicle 2145-50 is a very light yellow-green with a softened, creamy cast, reflected in its pale #E3E4CA color value. Its low saturation keeps the green influence subtle, so it reads more like a gentle wash of citrus-tinted off-white than a bright chartreuse. In daylight, it can look fresh and lightly leafy; under warm bulbs, the yellow side may become more noticeable. Use it on kitchen walls, a breakfast nook, or a sunroom where its pale color can hold its own against natural wood and woven textures. Limesicle pairs nicely with warm white trim, light oak, muted olive accents, and small touches of charcoal or deep brown for contrast.

LRV of Limesicle
Limesicle has an LRV of 74.34% 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 74.34%, 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.
