What color is Sherwin Williams Lemon Twist?
Sherwin Williams Lemon Twist SW 6909 is a clear, high-energy yellow with a fresh lemon cast rather than a muted, buttery look. Its slight green undertone keeps it crisp in bright daylight, while warm evening lamps can draw out a sunnier golden note. It is lively enough for a pantry door, breakfast nook, playroom, or a painted interior door, though using it on every wall may feel intense in a small room. Pair Lemon Twist with soft warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and deep green or navy accents to give the yellow some visual weight. In a north-facing room, expect it to read a little sharper and less golden than it does in direct sun.

LRV of Lemon Twist
Lemon Twist has an LRV of 71.52% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.52%, 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.
