Benjamin Moore

Summer Lime

2026-60

Summer Lime is a very light yellow-green with a cool green bias that prevents it from appearing creamy. Its high LRV of 84.37 makes it suitable for spaces that need maximum light reflection, such as kitchens, sunrooms, or home offices. The color remains crisp in daylight and can read slightly greener under cooler lighting.

It pairs effectively with neutral grays like Gray Owl and Classic Gray for balance. Softer greens such as Light Pistachio maintain a cohesive palette. Darker accents like Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate provide controlled contrast.
