Benjamin Moore

Key Lime

2031-50

Key Lime reads as a light-toned pastel green carrying noticeable yellow undertones that push it toward chartreuse rather than true green. At an LRV of 70.93, it reflects a good deal of light and functions well on walls without overwhelming a room. The yellow base keeps it from feeling cool or minty.

It coordinates naturally with Sunporch and Spring Mint for a tonal green scheme, while Newburg Green provides deeper contrast. Pairing it with Chantilly Lace on trim or Pale Oak on adjacent walls helps ground the brightness without competing with its warmth.

Key Lime 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.
