What color is Sherwin Williams Brittlebush?
Sherwin Williams Brittlebush SW 6684 is a warm, sunlit golden yellow with a noticeable orange cast. Its mid-range depth and clear saturation give it enough presence for an accent wall, painted front door, or cheerful kitchen cabinetry. In bright daylight, Brittlebush reads as a clean marigold-like yellow, while softer evening light can bring out its richer honey and amber notes. Pair this color with creamy whites, warm clay neutrals, natural oak, woven fibers, and matte black hardware for contrast. On a larger wall area, it is especially effective in breakfast rooms, mudrooms, or spaces that benefit from a concentrated dose of warmth.

LRV of Brittlebush
Brittlebush has an LRV of 48.22% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.22%, 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.
