What color is Sherwin Williams Sunny Side Up?

Sherwin Williams Sunny Side Up SW 9665 is a clear, light golden yellow with a warm, sunlit cast. Its #f7ce65 color value gives it enough brightness for an accent wall, painted furniture, or a cheerful kitchen or breakfast nook without reading neon. In strong natural light, Sunny Side Up looks crisp and buoyant, while lower, warmer lighting brings out its richer honeyed side. Pair it with soft white trim, natural oak, woven cane, or deep charcoal for contrast. On cabinetry or a front door, this shade makes the strongest statement when surrounded by quieter neutrals.

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 64.75%, 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.
