What color is Sherwin Williams Moonraker?
Sherwin Williams Moonraker SW 6701 is a pale, buttery yellow with a soft cream cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its light value makes it especially useful on walls in kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a gentle wash of color is wanted without adding much visual weight. In strong daylight, Moonraker can appear cleaner and more yellow, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its creamy, mellow side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted green or dusty blue accents for a grounded look. It can also bring a cheerful note to cabinetry or a front door when balanced with quieter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Moonraker
Moonraker has an LRV of 76.4% 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 76.4%, 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.
