Basic Lime reads as a graceful very light, cool yellow, shaped by its sage undertones. With an LRV of 82, it lends a tranquil quality to any room, from master bedrooms to spa-like bathrooms. Dunn-Edwards offers Crocodile Tears as an extremely close match, while Vista Paint's Fresh Start is also very similar. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
