What color is Sherwin Williams Frolic?
Sherwin Williams Frolic SW 6703 is a medium-light golden yellow with a softened olive cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary. Its earthy depth makes it a strong option for a breakfast nook, mudroom, playroom, or a single accent wall where a more animated color is welcome. In clear daylight, Frolic shows its sunny yellow character, while lower or warmer light can pull it toward a deeper mustard-ochre look. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and clay-toned ceramics for a grounded palette. Deep olive green, charcoal, and muted navy can add useful contrast on cabinetry, textiles, or adjacent rooms.

LRV of Frolic
Frolic has an LRV of 56.22% 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 56.22%, 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.
