About lemon
Lemon is the yellow that says yellow — bright, slightly green-leaning, and never apologetic. The cool edge keeps it crisp where butter would feel buttery. LRV runs high, so it amplifies daylight and can feel electric in strong sun.
Use it sparingly: a laundry room, a backsplash, a child's bookcase, or trim on a cottage exterior. Pair with bright white, soft gray, and chrome rather than brass. It fights warm woods. Designer alternatives: BM Sun Porch, SW Daisy, F&B Citron.
