What color is Sherwin Williams Forsythia?
Sherwin Williams Forsythia SW 6907 is a clear, high-energy yellow with a sunny golden cast rather than a muted, earthy mustard tone. It can read like the bright petals of its namesake shrub, especially in strong daylight, while warm lamps bring out its richer gold undertones at night. This color is usually most effective on a front door, a kitchen island, open shelving, or one accent wall where its intensity has room to stand out. Pair it with soft warm white walls, natural oak, woven linen, and brass for a cheerful but grounded look; deep navy or dark green provide sharper contrast. In a north-facing room, Forsythia may appear slightly deeper and less radiant, so it benefits from good lighting and lighter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Forsythia
Forsythia has an LRV of 63.02% 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 63.02%, 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.
