A very light, warm orange, Lemon Balm carries balanced undertones and a distinctly cozy presence. With an LRV of 85, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. The closest match from Benjamin Moore is Almond, a near-identical match. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
