Lemongrass
PPU6-18
Lemongrass looks handsome with dark bronze and cream trim. In strong daylight, the yellow becomes clearer. In shade, expect more olive. Keep cool gray away if freshness matters.
Color Codes
Lemongrass in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
65.5LRV 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.
