What color is Sherwin Williams Yellow Beam?
Sherwin Williams Yellow Beam SW 7123 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft warmth that keeps it from reading stark or overly bright. Its light value gives walls a gentle wash of color, while the muted saturation makes it feel closer to warm ivory than a clear primary yellow. In sunny rooms, Yellow Beam can look brighter and more buttery; under softer or cooler artificial light, it may settle into a quieter cream tone. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, nurseries, and hallways where a subtle yellow cast can replace plain white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and soft gray-green or dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Yellow Beam
Yellow Beam has an LRV of 85.84% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.84%, 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.
