What color is Sherwin Williams Sunny Veranda?

Sherwin Williams Sunny Veranda SW 9017 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a creamy golden cast. Its high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the noticeable yellow saturation gives walls more presence than an off-white or pale beige. In direct daylight, Sunny Veranda can read as cheerful and clear; under warm evening bulbs, it is likely to appear richer and more honeyed. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, playrooms, and porch-adjacent spaces where a warm color can feel intentional rather than overpowering. Pair this shade with crisp white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Sunny Veranda

Sunny Veranda has an LRV of 76.25% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 76.25%, 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.
