Glidden

Liberated Lime

PPG1127-2

Liberated Lime is a pale muted yellow-green with enough gray to calm the citrus side. On full walls, it feels closer to a softened botanical neutral than a candy lime. Gray does the quiet work.

Try it in a laundry room or back hall when plain off-white feels too bare. Pair it with clean white casing and light oak, and sample carefully in north light because the green can turn sleepy.

Liberated Lime 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.
