About Tasty Apple
Tasty Apple (416) is a light, bold green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 74, Tasty Apple 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 Tasty Apple'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 Celtic Folklore (411), it's lighter.
