What color is Sherwin Williams Solaria?
Sherwin Williams Solaria SW 6688 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft golden cast. Its pale value keeps it from feeling overly bright, while the noticeable yellow saturation gives walls a cheerful, daylight-filled presence. In strong natural light, Solaria can read as a clear buttery yellow; under warmer lamps, it takes on a richer honeyed tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, playrooms, and mudrooms where a clean, lively color is welcome. Pair it with creamy whites, light natural wood, woven textures, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Solaria
Solaria has an LRV of 69.84% 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 69.84%, 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.
