About Benjamin Moore Lemon Grass
Lemon Grass is very light — LRV 83, close to white. It opens up small or dim rooms and keeps walls feeling airy. Its yellow 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.
Lemon Grass 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. Yellows lift kitchens, hallways and kids' rooms with warmth.
