What color is Sherwin Williams Daybreak?
Sherwin Williams Daybreak SW 6700 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast that keeps it noticeably warm without becoming bright or citrusy. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the yellow undertone adds more character than a standard off-white. In direct daylight, Daybreak can read as a gentle buttercream; under warm bulbs, its golden notes become more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, sunrooms, and hallways where a little warmth is welcome. Pair it with crisp white trim, light oak, woven natural-fiber accents, or muted blue-green details for contrast.

LRV of Daybreak
Daybreak has an LRV of 81.9% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 81.9%, 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.
