What color is Sherwin Williams Carambola?

Sherwin Williams Carambola SW 9667 is a very light, softly warmed off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as bright yellow, while the pale value gives walls an airy, gently sunlit appearance. In daylight, Carambola can look like a clean ivory touched with butter; under warmer evening bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, bedrooms, and living areas where a plain white might feel too stark. Pair this shade with natural oak, woven textures, warm white trim, muted sage, or earthy clay accents for a grounded palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 82.37%, 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.
