What color is Sherwin Williams Lemon Drop?
Sherwin Williams Lemon Drop SW 7122 is a very light, creamy yellow-white with a soft buttery cast rather than a bright citrus look. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the yellow undertone adds more warmth than a standard white or ivory. In daylight, Lemon Drop can read as a gentle sunlit cream; under warm artificial light, its buttery character may become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, nurseries, and hallways where a quiet wash of warmth is welcome. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, warm white trim, muted sage, or dusty blue accents for a grounded, lived-in palette.

LRV of Lemon Drop
Lemon Drop has an LRV of 87.24% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 87.24%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
