What color is Sherwin Williams Lantern Light?
Sherwin Williams Lantern Light SW 6687 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear warm golden cast. Its soft depth keeps it from reading as bright primary yellow, giving walls a gently sunlit appearance instead. In rooms with ample daylight, Lantern Light can look airy and buttery, while lower or warmer artificial light draws out its richer honey notes. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and cheerful living spaces, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, or terracotta accents. For contrast, pair this shade with muted blue-gray, deep olive, or charcoal details.

LRV of Lantern Light
Lantern Light has an LRV of 76.05% 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 76.05%, 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.
