What color is Sherwin Williams Saffron Thread?
Sherwin Williams Saffron Thread SW 6663 is a warm, mid-tone orange with a softened golden cast, close to the color of baked clay touched by afternoon sun. Its #df984e value gives it enough saturation to read clearly on a wall, while the muted quality keeps it from feeling neon or overly sharp. In bright natural light, Saffron Thread appears brighter and more golden; under warm bulbs, it can lean deeper toward amber. Use it for a dining room, breakfast nook, or powder room where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. It also makes a strong accent on a front door, built-in shelving, or painted cabinetry alongside creamy whites, warm beige, natural oak, aged brass, and deep olive-green details.

LRV of Saffron Thread
Saffron Thread has an LRV of 38.95% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.95%, 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.
