Benjamin Moore

Dark Lime

2027-10

Dark Lime is a bold yellow-green with an LRV of 37.3, placing it in the medium-brightness range. Its strong yellow undertone gives it a saturated, retro quality that reads as distinctly energetic on walls. The color works well in kitchens, creative workspaces, or as an accent in modern interiors where a high-contrast focal point is needed.

It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy and Blue Note for sharp contrast, while Pear Green and Spring Meadow offer analogous options. Pairing with White Dove helps ground its intensity.
