What color is Sherwin Williams Afternoon?
Sherwin Williams Afternoon SW 6675 is a clear, light golden yellow with a noticeable peachy-orange cast. Its high brightness keeps it sunny rather than heavy, while the warm undertone gives it more depth than a soft butter yellow. In direct daylight, Afternoon can read lively and golden; under warmer bulbs, it may lean closer to honey or apricot. It suits breakfast nooks, playrooms, mudrooms, and small accent areas where a cheerful wash of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, terracotta tile, or muted blue-green details for contrast. On a full wall, this shade makes the strongest statement in rooms with good natural light.

LRV of Afternoon
Afternoon has an LRV of 64.6% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 64.6%, 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.
