Benjamin Moore

Polar Lights

400

Polar Lights by Benjamin Moore is an ultra-light lime green with a subtle yellow influence, carrying an LRV of 79.2. At this high reflectance, it functions almost like a tinted white, brightening rooms noticeably while still introducing a distinct green-yellow hue. The cool lime undertone becomes more visible on larger surfaces and under daylight.

It suits kitchens, bathrooms, and sunrooms where a clean, light-filled atmosphere is practical. Soft Fern and Spring Meadow provide harmonious green companions, while Night Train and Rainforest Dew offer strong dark-value contrast that highlights the brightness of this shade effectively.

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.
