Benjamin Moore

Limesicle

2145-50

Limesicle reads as a pale, grayed-out lime with a noticeable cool cast. A gray undertone tempers the green, pushing it toward a quiet, almost celadon-adjacent neutral. At an LRV of 74.34, it reflects enough light to function as a soft wall color in most rooms without overwhelming adjacent surfaces.

Classic Gray and Balboa Mist sit comfortably alongside it, sharing that muted restraint. For sharper contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy anchor it well. Lemon Sorbet or Soft Fern extend the green-yellow family without competing.

Limesicle 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.
