Benjamin Moore

Lemon Soufflé

331

Lemon Souffle is a muted, creamy yellow with a subtle warm undertone that leans slightly toward parchment in lower light. Its LRV of 83.64 places it in the high-reflectance range, so it functions almost like a tinted white while still carrying recognizable color. White Dove and Chantilly Lace both work as trim pairings, with the latter providing a crisper edge.

Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply strong contrast for doors or built-ins, and softer accent options like Pale Avocado or Peach Parfait introduce color without overwhelming the base tone.

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.
