Lemon or lemon-color is a vivid yellow color characteristic of the lemon fruit. Shades of "lemon" may vary significantly from the fruit's actual color, including fluorescent tones and creamy hues reflective of lemon pies and confections.
The first recorded use of lemon as a color name in English dates to 1598. In the academic regalia of the United States, the color denotes library and information science.
