Benjamin Moore

Lemon Twist

394

Lemon Twist is a light yellow-green with a clear chartreuse undertone that distinguishes it from standard pale yellows. At an LRV of 79.08, it reflects a generous amount of light while maintaining an obvious green cast, particularly in north-facing rooms. White Dove or Simply White pair naturally as trim colors without fighting the green lean.

Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal introduce firm contrast for accent elements. Spring Meadow deepens the green direction, while Hawthorne Yellow shifts the conversation back toward pure yellow for a broader tonal range.

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.
