What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet Melon?
Benjamin Moore Sweet Melon 121 is a light, sun-warmed peach with creamy orange-beige undertones. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the noticeable peach cast gives it more presence than a standard off-white. In daylight, Sweet Melon can read as a soft apricot wash; under warm evening bulbs, it deepens toward a gentle melon tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a softly colored ceiling, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair it with muted sage, dusty blue, or deep charcoal accents rather than stark cool whites.

LRV of Sweet Melon
Sweet Melon has an LRV of 69.25% 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 69.25%, 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.
