What color is Benjamin Moore Melon Ice?
Benjamin Moore Melon Ice 106 is a pale, creamy peach with a soft apricot cast and a lightly sun-warmed appearance. Its high lightness keeps it airy on walls, while the gentle orange-pink undertone gives it more character than a standard ivory. In bright daylight, Melon Ice can read as a delicate cream with peach warmth; under evening lamps, its blushier side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a muted warm color is wanted without a deep or saturated finish. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, muted terracotta, or dusty green accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Melon Ice
Melon Ice has an LRV of 74.39% 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 74.39%, 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.
