What color is Sherwin Williams Lemon Meringue?
Sherwin Williams Lemon Meringue SW 7561 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft warmth that keeps it from reading stark or overly bright. Its light value gives walls a gentle wash of color, while the muted saturation makes it easier to live with than a clear sunshine yellow. In daylight, Lemon Meringue can appear airy and lightly buttery; under warm bulbs, its yellow cast becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and children’s rooms where a subtle dose of warmth is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, natural linen, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Lemon Meringue
Lemon Meringue has an LRV of 82.52% 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 82.52%, 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.
