About Citrus Blossom

Citrus Blossom (123) is a mid-tone, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 59, Citrus Blossom has visible color without darkening a room much.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Citrus Blossom's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. Next to Beeswax (2157-40), it's lighter.

How Citrus Blossom changes with the light

Citrus Blossom 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.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Citrus Blossom can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Citrus Blossom will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
