Lime Twist

6009-8

Lime Twist is a deep yellowed olive with a green undertone. It is darker and earthier than the name sounds. Use it for exterior shutters, a mudroom bench, or a library accent where a botanical color should feel grounded.

LRV 10 means weak rooms will need extra light. Cream trim, black iron, or aged wood sits comfortably beside it. Bright whites make the green sharper.

Lime Twist 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.
