Benjamin Moore

Shimmering Lime

2030-50

Shimmering Lime registers at an LRV of 68.53, reflecting a substantial amount of light while still reading as a definite green rather than a tinted white. Its hex value #BFE8AA indicates a yellow-green base with subtle cool blue undertones that keep it from skewing chartreuse. In north-facing rooms, those blue undertones become more apparent, shifting the color slightly cooler.

Benjamin Moore Simply White provides a clean trim pairing, while Palladian Blue on an adjacent wall creates a tonal cool transition. Hale Navy offers strong contrast for accents, and Fernwood Green or Castellina reinforce the green family without competing.

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.
