Spring Lime

6006-10B

Spring Lime is a medium lime-green with a fresh citrus undertone. The citrus undertone needs a purposeful spot rather than every surface. Use it where the color can be intentional: a laundry room, painted bench, or garden-facing nook.

On broad walls, it may become brighter than expected. White trim keeps the green lively. Natural oak pulls it warmer. Cool gray tile may sharpen it, so sample before covering a larger area.

Spring 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.
