What color is Sherwin Williams Fun Yellow?
Sherwin Williams Fun Yellow SW 6908 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a sharp, citrus-bright look. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the visible warmth gives a room more presence than an off-white would. In direct sunlight, Fun Yellow can read as cheerful and lightly sunlit; in lower or cooler light, it may appear more muted and buttery. It suits breakfast nooks, playrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens where a gentle wash of color is wanted without a deeply saturated yellow. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, woven fibers, or blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Fun Yellow
Fun Yellow has an LRV of 77.95% 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 77.95%, 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.
