About Lemon Freeze
Lemon Freeze (2025-50) is a very light, bold green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 83, Lemon Freeze 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 Lemon Freeze'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 Hibiscus (2027-50), it's lighter and warmer.
How Lemon Freeze changes with the light
Lemon Freeze is a warm white, so it stays soft rather than gray in north-facing rooms and looks creamier in strong south or west sun.
North-facing rooms
Lemon Freeze's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Lemon Freeze 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 Lemon Freeze can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Lemon Freeze will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
