Benjamin Moore

Lemon Meringue

2023-50

Lemon Meringue is a soft, buttery yellow with a warm cream undertone that prevents it from skewing too acidic under artificial light. At an LRV of 81.07, it reflects enough light to brighten a room while still reading distinctly as yellow rather than white. White Dove or Cloud White work as trim companions without introducing competing warmth.

Hale Navy offers clean contrast for accents, and Gray Owl provides a quieter pairing. Golden Honey or Buttermilk can deepen the tonal range within the same warm family.
