What color is Benjamin Moore Shimmering Lime?

Benjamin Moore Shimmering Lime 2030-50 is a light, clear yellow-green with a soft, sunlit cast. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the lime influence gives it more presence than a typical pastel green. In bright daylight, this shade can read fresh and lightly citrusy; under warmer artificial light, its yellow side may come forward. Shimmering Lime suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a lively accent wall, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale wood, and natural woven textures. For contrast, pair it with charcoal details or deep blue-green accents rather than overly warm beige.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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).
