Lime Froth
What Lime Froth Actually Looks Like
Lime Froth is a very pale, airy yellow-green that reads almost like a tinted white on the wall. At first glance it can look like a simple off-white, but step into the room and you notice a gentle green-yellow warmth that gives it life. It sits right at the lightest end of the color spectrum, close to white but unmistakably tinted.
Lime Froth Undertones
The color carries yellow-green undertones that lean slightly more yellow than green. In bright natural light it feels fresh and clean, close to the color of new spring leaves diluted heavily with white. In lower or artificial light the yellow quality becomes more noticeable, and the green can recede, leaving the wall feeling simply warm rather than leafy.
Where Lime Froth Works Best
Lime Froth is an interior-only color. It suits spaces where you want a hint of color without committing to a saturated wall. Rooms with good natural light will let the yellow-green quality show clearly. In north-facing rooms with cool, indirect light, the warmth can flatten and the color may read more like a plain warm white.
Where to put Lime Froth
The fresh, clean quality of Lime Froth works well in a kitchen, especially one with white cabinetry and plenty of natural light. It adds subtle warmth without making the space feel heavy.
A very light yellow-green is easy to spend time around. It feels lively enough to avoid feeling sterile but quiet enough that it does not compete with screens or focused work.
In a bathroom with warm lighting, Lime Froth can feel clean and spa-like. Be aware that cool fluorescent lighting will flatten the color considerably.
The softness of this color makes it a gentle, gender-neutral choice for a nursery. It brings in a botanical quality without being loud.

Common questions
Lime Froth has an LRV of 87.72, which puts it among the lightest colors Benjamin Moore offers. That high reflectivity means it will keep a room feeling open and airy, but it also means the color reads very softly. In a large room with bright light you may find it nearly disappears into white.
That depends on what you want. If you stand back and look at a finished room, Lime Froth does register as different from white, especially in daylight. It adds organic warmth that plain white cannot deliver. If you want obvious color, this is not your choice. If you want something that feels considered without being bold, it earns its place.
Yes. At this lightness level it can work well on a ceiling, where it adds the faintest green-yellow glow to a room's light rather than reading as a colored ceiling. It pairs naturally with walls in the same family or with warm whites below.
Eggshell is the most practical choice for most walls. It gives a slight sheen that helps the color read a little more clearly than flat, and it cleans up more easily. Flat or matte works well if you want the softest possible look and are painting in a lower-traffic room.
