What color is Sherwin Williams Lime Rickey?
Sherwin Williams Lime Rickey SW 6717 is a light, yellow-green shade with a softened, leafy cast rather than a sharp citrus intensity. Its #afb96a color value gives it a gently muted appearance, with enough warmth to read golden in sunlit rooms and a slightly greener look in cooler daylight. Lime Rickey can bring character to a kitchen, breakfast nook, mudroom, or painted built-in without making the surface feel overly dark. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven fibers, and warm clay accents for an organic palette, or add charcoal and deep olive for stronger contrast. This shade is especially effective on cabinetry, an accent wall, or a front door where its distinct green-yellow tone can stand out.

LRV of Lime Rickey
Lime Rickey has an LRV of 44.97% 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 44.97%, 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.
