About Limon
Limon (334) is a light, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 77, Limon 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 Limon's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms and entryways. It's very close to Good Morning Sunshine (326); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Limon changes with the light
Limon 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
Limon's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Limon 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 Limon can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Limon will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
