Sherwin Williams Lime Rickey SW 6717 is a light, yellow-green shade with a softened, leafy cast rather than a sharp citrus intensity. Its #afb96a color value gives it a gently muted appearance, with enough warmth to read golden in sunlit rooms and a slightly greener look in cooler daylight. Lime Rickey can bring character to a kitchen, breakfast nook, mudroom, or painted built-in without making the surface feel overly dark. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven fibers, and warm clay accents for an organic palette, or add charcoal and deep olive for stronger contrast. This shade is especially effective on cabinetry, an accent wall, or a front door where its distinct green-yellow tone can stand out.
