What color is Sherwin Williams Full Moon?
Sherwin Williams Full Moon SW 6679 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast that keeps it warm without becoming overly bright. Its pale depth gives walls a gentle wash of color, especially in kitchens, breakfast rooms, and sunny hallways. In direct daylight, Full Moon can read as a clearer buttery cream, while lower or cooler light may bring out its muted beige side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven cane, or aged brass for a layered, sunlit look. For contrast, use charcoal accents or deep blue-gray furnishings to give this shade more definition.

LRV of Full Moon
Full Moon has an LRV of 78% 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 78%, 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.
