What color is Sherwin Williams Limón Fresco?
Sherwin Williams Limón Fresco SW 9030 is a clear yellow-green with a softened, earthy cast rather than a neon citrus look. Its #cebc55 color value gives it a medium-light depth and noticeable saturation, so it reads as a deliberate color choice on a wall or painted cabinet. In bright daylight, the yellow side can feel more pronounced, while lower or warmer light may bring out its olive-leaning character. Use Limón Fresco in a breakfast nook, mudroom, or playful kitchen accent with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass. For contrast, pair it with deep charcoal, muted navy, or a dusty terracotta accent.
LRV of Limón Fresco
Limón Fresco has an LRV of 49.76% 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 49.76%, 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.
