What color is Sherwin Williams Pollen Powder?

Sherwin Williams Pollen Powder SW 9014 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the noticeable saturation gives it more presence than an off-white or cream. In daylight, Pollen Powder reads cheerful and gently luminous; warmer evening lighting can draw out its honeyed side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and painted furniture, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted blue or green accents. Use it on an accent wall or cabinetry when you want a clear dose of yellow without moving into a deep mustard tone.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 67.78%, 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.
