Benjamin Moore

Tequila Lime

2028-30

Tequila Lime (BM) is a bright yellow-green with an LRV of 41.65, reflecting a moderate amount of light while maintaining high saturation. Its undertones split between warm yellow and cool green, producing a chartreuse read that is more acidic than leafy. The color is highly chromatic and will command attention on any surface where it is applied.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's Decorator's White, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, Spring Meadow, and Tropical Tale, which provide either clean white contrast or analogous green-yellow continuity.
