About Citron Cocktail
Citron Cocktail (410) is a light, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 74, Citron Cocktail reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Citron Cocktail's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, bathrooms, nurseries and living rooms. Next to Key Lime (2031-50), it's warmer.
How Citron Cocktail changes with the light
Citron Cocktail has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Citron Cocktail's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Citron Cocktail will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Citron Cocktail can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Citron Cocktail will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
