What color is Sherwin Williams Papaya?
Sherwin Williams Papaya SW 6661 is a light, sun-warmed orange with a clear peachy-apricot cast. Its golden undertone keeps it from reading pink, while the softened saturation makes it easier to use than a sharper citrus orange. In bright daylight, Papaya looks fresh and luminous; under warm evening bulbs, it settles into a richer baked-peach tone. It suits breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, powder rooms, or an accent wall where a cheerful wash of color is wanted without visual heaviness. Pair this shade with creamy whites, warm sand tones, pale wood, woven natural fibers, or muted teal accents for contrast.

LRV of Papaya
Papaya has an LRV of 54.66% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.66%, 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.
