What color is Sherwin Williams La Luna Amarilla?
Sherwin Williams La Luna Amarilla SW 9016 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast. Its pale value keeps the color airy rather than bold, while the #fddfa0 tone gives it noticeably more warmth than an off-white. In bright daylight, La Luna Amarilla can read as a gentle butter-yellow; under warmer evening lamps, its golden undertones become more apparent. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and sunlit hallways where a clear dose of warmth is welcome. Pair it with crisp white trim, natural oak, woven cane, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.
LRV of La Luna Amarilla
La Luna Amarilla has an LRV of 76.2% 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 76.2%, 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.
