Citrus Peel

P360-5

Citrus Peel is a muted yellow-green, somewhere between pear skin and soft olive. It has a tart edge. Laundry rooms, kids' baths, and painted stools are natural places when the space needs color with daylight energy.

In shadow, the green dulls and the yellow becomes earthier. White tile, birch, or matte black will keep it clean. Avoid muddy beige nearby, because it can make the color look tired.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
