About Limesicle
Limesicle (2145-50) is a light green from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 76, Limesicle 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 Limesicle's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward.
