What color is Sherwin Williams Parakeet?
Sherwin Williams Parakeet SW 6711 is a muted yellow-green with an olive cast, sitting in a medium-light range rather than reading as a bright chartreuse. Its softened saturation gives it an earthy, slightly retro character that can feel warmer beside cream and wood, while gray daylight may bring out its greener side. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a breakfast nook, or a powder room wall where its distinctive color can take the lead without becoming overly sharp. Parakeet pairs particularly well with warm white trim, natural oak, woven cane, and deeper olive or charcoal accents. For a cleaner contrast, combine this shade with matte black hardware and pale stone surfaces.

LRV of Parakeet
Parakeet has an LRV of 41.37% 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 41.37%, 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.
