What color is Sherwin Williams Daffodil?
Sherwin Williams Daffodil SW 6901 is a clear, sunlit yellow with a warm golden cast and enough softness to keep it from reading as sharply citrus. Its bright, mid-light value makes it especially noticeable on an accent wall, a painted interior door, or kitchen cabinetry used in moderation. In strong daylight, Daffodil looks cleaner and more luminous, while warmer evening light brings forward its buttery side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural oak, charcoal accents, or muted blue-green textiles for contrast. It can bring welcome color to breakfast nooks, playrooms, mudrooms, and small spaces that need a brighter focal point.

LRV of Daffodil
Daffodil has an LRV of 71.31% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 71.31%, 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.
