What color is Sherwin Williams Lemon Verbena?

Sherwin Williams Lemon Verbena SW 7726 is a muted yellow-green with a softened khaki cast, sitting at a medium depth rather than reading bright or pastel. Its restrained saturation gives it an earthy, slightly weathered appearance that can shift more golden in warm daylight and a touch grayer under cooler artificial light. Lemon Verbena suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior trim where a grounded green is wanted without a sharp botanical look. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, and stone surfaces with beige or olive veining. On cabinetry or built-ins, this shade adds color while still allowing wood, tile, and textured linens to remain the focus.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 30.91%, 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.
