What color is Sherwin Williams Chamomile?

Sherwin Williams Chamomile SW 6399 is a pale, creamy yellow-beige with a soft, sun-warmed cast. Its #e9e0c5 color value gives it a light appearance with gentle muted saturation, so it reads more like a quiet wash of color than a bright yellow. In sunny rooms, Chamomile can look warmer and slightly more golden, while cooler daylight may bring out its beige side. It is well suited to living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where white might feel too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted olive or clay accents for an earthy, layered 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 74.74%, 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.
