Benjamin Moore

Apple Lime Cocktail

420

Apple Lime Cocktail is a saturated mid-tone green carrying a noticeable yellow undertone that keeps it from drifting toward teal. With an LRV of 37.3 it absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with ample natural light or strong artificial sources. Blue Hydrangea can serve as a cool complement on an adjacent wall, while Buttered Yam introduces a warm accent.

Rustic Taupe and Graphite ground the palette in neutral territory, and White Dove provides a clean trim boundary.

Apple Lime Cocktail in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
