Lime Kiss

6008-9A

Lime Kiss is a pale cream with a gentle yellow-green undertone. The name overstates the green. It can work in sunny kitchens, halls, or bedrooms where a warm off-white needs a fresher edge.

Against true white, the yellow becomes easier to see. Ground it with natural fiber rugs or light wood. Cool gray stone needs a direct sample check first.

Lime Kiss 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.
