What color is Sherwin Williams Sun Salutation?
Sherwin Williams Sun Salutation SW 9664 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft creamy cast and a gentle orange-beige undertone. Its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the noticeable warmth gives walls the look of late-afternoon sunlight. In bright natural light, Sun Salutation reads cheerful and buttery; under warmer lamps, it can deepen toward a mellow honey tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and children’s spaces where a clear warm color feels appropriate without becoming overly intense. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, woven cane, terracotta details, or muted olive accents for an earthy, grounded contrast.

LRV of Sun Salutation
Sun Salutation has an LRV of 66.16% 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 66.16%, 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.
