Benjamin Moore

Lemon Grass

339

Lemon Grass is a light, clean yellow with a warm golden undertone that keeps it from reading too sharp on the wall. At an LRV of 78.97, it reflects a good deal of light while still registering as a definite color rather than an off-white. It sits comfortably alongside White Dove and Simply White for trim work, and gains depth when contrasted with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal.

In rooms with natural greenery or earth tones, pairing it with Saybrook Sage rounds out the palette without competing for attention.

Lemon Grass 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.
