LIME SQUEEZE

Jotun · 8599

The Analysis

Lime Squeeze is a high-LRV (79.06) paint, meaning it reflects a significant amount of light back into the room. This makes it an excellent choice for expanding the visual footprint of smaller spaces or brightening up rooms that feel dull.

This shade works best as a main wall colour in shared living spaces like kitchens or sunrooms. It is subtle enough to serve as a neutral backdrop while offering more personality than a standard off-white.

LRV 79

History & Origin

This is a decidedly modern, fresh hue. It avoids the heavy, muted tones of traditional heritage palettes and aligns with contemporary, light-filled interior design trends.

How to Use It

Pair this with light oak wood tones for a seamless look or matte black hardware to add necessary visual contrast. It performs exceptionally well in kitchens paired with white cabinetry and natural stone countertops.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels clean and uplifting without being jarring. It provides a steady, cheerful backdrop that encourages productivity and freshness throughout the day.

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.
