Lemon Fennel

M248

Lemon Fennel is a pale herbal green with a yellow cast. It feels sunnier than sage. A breakfast nook, laundry room, or garden-facing space suits this gentle green-yellow.

White trim keeps the herbal note fresh. Natural wood warms it. In dim light, the color can lose brightness and look duller, so check it under the bulbs used every evening. A bigger sample helps.

Lemon Fennel 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 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.
