What Color Is Lemon Soufflé, Really?
Lemon Soufflé reads as a warm yellow tone — very light — near-white, broadens small spaces. The notes below cover how Benjamin Moore 331 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Lemon Soufflé
Lemon Soufflé 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.
How Lighting Changes Lemon Soufflé
Lemon Soufflé is very light — LRV 84, 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.
Most complaints about Lemon Soufflé 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.
