Benjamin Moore

Lemon Drops

2019-50

Lemon Drops is a light, warm yellow with an LRV of 76.99, meaning it reflects a generous amount of light and reads as open and bright on walls. Its undertone leans slightly toward peach rather than green, keeping it on the warmer side of the yellow family. White Dove or Simply White make reliable trim choices that maintain clean edges without competing.

Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong value contrast for doors or built-ins. Soft greens and muted corals in the analogous range help build out a broader warm palette.

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.
