What color is Sherwin Williams Yarrow?
Sherwin Williams Yarrow SW 6669 is a warm golden-orange with a sunbaked, honeyed cast. Its mid-light depth keeps it lively on the wall without reading as neon or overly yellow. In bright daylight, Yarrow can appear clearer and more golden, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its richer amber-orange side. It suits a breakfast nook, mudroom, powder room, or painted front door where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, warm wood, terracotta tile, or aged brass for a grounded finish.

LRV of Yarrow
Yarrow has an LRV of 48.2% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.2%, 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.
