What color is Sherwin Williams Confident Yellow?

Sherwin Williams Confident Yellow SW 6911 is a clear, high-energy yellow with a warm golden cast rather than a muted mustard undertone. It reads sunny and vivid in daylight, while warm bulbs can push it closer to the color of a freshly cut lemon warmed by late-afternoon sun. In a north-facing room, its brightness can help counter gray light, though it is usually easier to live with on a single wall, a pantry door, or kitchen cabinetry than across every wall. Pair it with soft warm whites, natural oak, woven linen, and brushed brass for a relaxed, lived-in look. Deep navy or forest green provides useful contrast when the room needs the yellow to feel more grounded.

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 63.67%, 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.
