Citron in Real Rooms

Citron has a medium-high LRV of 52.2 — present enough to register on the wall without making a room feel heavy. Grouped in the Green family, the photos below show it applied in a front door and bathroom.

The front door is a great place to experiment with higher sheen levels. Citron in a high-gloss finish creates a mirror-like surface that looks incredibly expensive and traditional, echoing the grand entryways of London or New York.

2 Bathroom Photos

For bathrooms with limited natural light, Citron provides a necessary "glow." It uses its subtle undertones to mimic the warmth of sunlight, preventing the space from feeling subterranean or overly dark, even in windowless layouts.
