What color is Sherwin Williams Eye Catching?
Sherwin Williams Eye Catching SW 6914 is a rich golden yellow with a clear mustard cast and noticeable warmth. Its mid-tone depth keeps it from reading like a pale butter yellow, while the saturated color gives walls and accents a lively, sunlit presence. In bright daylight, Eye Catching can appear brighter and more golden; under warm interior lighting, it may lean deeper toward ochre. It suits a breakfast nook, creative workspace, or front door, and it can make cabinetry or a painted island a strong focal point. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal gray, deep navy, natural oak, or blackened metal for contrast that lets the yellow hold its character.

LRV of Eye Catching
Eye Catching has an LRV of 50.06% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.06%, 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.
