What color is Sherwin Williams Venetian Yellow?
Sherwin Williams Venetian Yellow SW 1666 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear warm cast and a softened golden undertone. Its pale value keeps it from feeling overly bright, so it can bring gentle color to kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, or sunny living spaces without dominating the room. In daylight, Venetian Yellow reads airy and buttery, while evening lighting tends to draw out its warmer, honeyed side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted blue-gray or olive accents for contrast. It is especially well suited to broad wall areas where its subtle warmth can be appreciated.

LRV of Venetian Yellow
Venetian Yellow has an LRV of 77.35% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.35%, 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.
