What color is Sherwin Williams Midday?
Sherwin Williams Midday SW 6695 is a light, sunlit yellow with a creamy golden cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the soft warmth gives it enough presence for a breakfast nook, kitchen, or child’s room. In direct daylight, Midday reads as a clear buttery yellow; lower or warmer evening light can bring out its mellow honey tone. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural oak, woven grasses, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast. It can also make a cheerful choice for a front door or painted furniture where a full yellow statement feels appropriate.

LRV of Midday
Midday has an LRV of 70.4% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 70.4%, 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.
