Frosty Lime

Benjamin Moore · 2029-70

The Analysis

Frosty Lime is an incredibly reflective shade with an LRV of 89.1, meaning it bounces almost all light back into the room. It makes small, dim areas feel significantly more open and airy by mimicking the brightness of a sun-drenched space.

Because of its high brightness, it works best as a main wall colour in smaller rooms or as a refreshing secondary tone in a kitchen or mudroom. It acts as a neutral with a twist, providing interest without overwhelming your furniture.

LRV 89

History & Origin

This is a modern, fresh aesthetic that leans away from period-specific styles. It feels like a contemporary update to the classic 'kitchen greens' of the mid-20th century.

How to Use It

Pair this with light oak wood tones to lean into a natural look, or use matte black hardware to ground the space with high-contrast lines. It works best in kitchens or laundry rooms where you want a hygienic, functional feel.

The Mood

This colour provides a clean, crisp energy that feels alert and refreshed rather than sleepy. It’s an ideal choice for rooms where you want to start your morning with a clear head.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
