Sonic Lime

6007-8A

Sonic Lime is a yellow-green with a muted citrus center. The lime energy carries small spaces. Use it in small rooms, furniture, or a back entry where the color can be the main event.

On full walls, it will bounce a green-gold glow onto nearby surfaces. White trim makes it cleaner. Natural wood pulls it earthier. Avoid using it beside red-toned floors unless that high-contrast effect is deliberate.

Sonic Lime 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.
