What Color Is Citra Lime, Really?
Citra Lime reads as a cool green tone — very light — near-white, broadens small spaces. The notes below cover how Benjamin Moore 2032-60 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Citra Lime
Citra Lime shines on ceilings, trim and in small or low-light rooms where you need to stretch the light — and as a calm whole-home backdrop. Greens bridge indoors and out, so they suit living rooms, kitchens and sunrooms.
How Lighting Changes Citra Lime
Citra Lime is very light — LRV 82, close to white. It opens up small or dim rooms and keeps walls feeling airy. Its green undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. In north light it can read slightly cooler; a warm white trim alongside keeps it from going clinical.
Most complaints about Citra Lime are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
