What color is Sherwin Williams Summer Day?
Sherwin Williams Summer Day SW 6662 is a warm, sunbaked orange with clear peach and golden undertones. Its mid-light depth gives it enough color presence for a feature wall, while still feeling softer than a deep terracotta or rust. In direct afternoon light, Summer Day can read brighter and more golden; under lower or cooler light, its peachy clay cast becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and covered exterior details where a cheerful warm hue feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy whites, sandy beige, muted olive, natural oak, woven cane, or aged brass for a grounded finish.

LRV of Summer Day
Summer Day has an LRV of 47.19% 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 47.19%, 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.
