What color is Sherwin Williams Lemongrass?
Sherwin Williams Lemongrass SW 7732 is a muted yellow-green beige with a softly weathered, earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading bright or citrusy; instead, it sits close to khaki with subtle olive undertones. In warm daylight, Lemongrass can appear more golden and tan, while cooler or shaded rooms may bring out its green-gray side. It suits living rooms, kitchens, and mudrooms where a grounded neutral feels more interesting than standard beige. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, charcoal accents, or clay-toned textiles for a layered, lived-in look.
LRV of Lemongrass
Lemongrass has an LRV of 50.84% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.84%, 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.
