Benjamin Moore

Lemon Sorbet

2019-60

Lemon Sorbet is a pale, creamy yellow with a slight warm undertone that reads clean without turning cool. At an LRV of 83.35, it reflects a substantial amount of light and functions well as a wall color where a tinted white is preferred over a saturated hue. Soft Fern and Morning Dew complement it in nature-influenced schemes, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide firm contrast for millwork or cabinetry.

Simply White or White Dove on ceilings and trim maintain a cohesive warmth throughout the space.

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.
