Benjamin Moore

Neon

402

Neon is an acidic yellow-green with strong chartreuse and citrus undertones that lean more yellow than green under warm lighting. With an LRV of 71.95, it reflects a considerable amount of light while maintaining high chromatic intensity. The color carries a noticeable warm bias from its yellow base, with green functioning as the secondary tone.

It pairs effectively with the soft lavender-white Snow Angel 841 for contrast, the balanced Gray Huskie 1473 as a grounding neutral, the clean White Heron OC-57, and the deep Jamestown Blue HC-148 as an accent.

Neon 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.
