What color is Dulux Lemon Spirit?
Dulux Lemon Spirit is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft butter tone rather than a sharp citrus look. Its pale depth keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the yellow presence adds gentle warmth to north-facing rooms or spaces with cool daylight. In bright sun, Lemon Spirit can appear closer to a milky ivory; under warmer artificial light, its buttery undertone becomes more noticeable. Pair it with chalky whites, light oak, woven natural fibres, or muted sage green for a grounded, low-contrast scheme. It is especially suited to kitchens, breakfast areas, and children’s rooms, where a quiet wash of yellow can lift the background without dominating it.

LRV of Lemon Spirit
Lemon Spirit has an LRV of 90% 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 90%, 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.
