What color is Sherwin Williams Naples Yellow?
Sherwin Williams Naples Yellow SW 9021 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft golden cast and a gentle muted quality. Its high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the slightly earthy warmth helps it read more like mellow daylight than a sharp primary yellow. In north-facing rooms, Naples Yellow may appear a little more subdued and beige-gold; direct afternoon sun brings out its clearer yellow character. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and small accent areas where a warm, light-filled look is wanted. Pair this shade with creamy whites, pale natural wood, warm stone, terracotta, or dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Naples Yellow
Naples Yellow has an LRV of 69.02% 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 69.02%, 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.
