What color is Sherwin Williams Amber Wave?
Sherwin Williams Amber Wave SW 6657 is a warm, medium-depth orange with a muted golden-brown cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its earthy saturation gives it enough presence for a dining room, entry, or sunlit kitchen wall, where it can read especially rich and sun-baked. In lower light, Amber Wave is likely to deepen toward a more grounded terracotta-orange. Use it as an accent wall, painted furniture color, or exterior front-door shade alongside creamy whites, warm taupes, charcoal, and natural wood. Matte black metal, aged brass, leather, and woven fibers give this color a particularly grounded setting.

LRV of Amber Wave
Amber Wave has an LRV of 29.94% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.94%, 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.
