What color is Sherwin Williams Yam?
Sherwin Williams Yam SW 6643 is a medium-depth orange with a clear earthy, clay-like cast rather than a bright citrus tone. Its #c36f3e color value gives it noticeable warmth and saturation, with brown undertones that keep the orange grounded. In direct daylight, Yam can read as a clean sunbaked orange, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper terracotta character. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, front door, or accent wall, and can also make a strong statement on painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm whites, muted olive greens, deep charcoal, natural wood, and aged brass for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Yam
Yam has an LRV of 23.44% and refers to Medium 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 23.44%, 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.
