What color is Sherwin Williams Pale Yellow?
Sherwin Williams Pale Yellow SW 7691 is a light, softened yellow with a creamy beige cast that keeps it from looking sharp or sugary. It has the quiet look of sun-faded linen or aged plaster, making it especially suited to kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways that need a little warmth without a strong golden color. In bright daylight, it reads as a gentle butter yellow, while north-facing rooms may bring out its more muted, slightly tan side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and honed stone for an easy, lived-in palette. Dark green accents, antique brass hardware, or a walnut table give this shade enough contrast to feel grounded.

LRV of Pale Yellow
Pale Yellow has an LRV of 60.9% 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 60.9%, 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.
