Lemon Meringue

M321

Lemon Meringue is a pale warm cream with a vanilla-yellow base. It feels soft and bright. Bedrooms, hallways, or a traditional kitchen can gain warmth without a strong yellow read.

On trim, it may look creamy beside cooler wall colors. Let the supporting finishes stay close to warm stone or honey-toned wood. If the home has bright white doors, compare them directly before choosing this for walls.

Lemon Meringue 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.
