Sweeney Yellow

CW-370

Sweeney Yellow is a warm yellow grounded by ochre undertones that prevent it from appearing overly bright. Its LRV of 56.15 places it in a moderate light range, allowing it to reflect light while maintaining visible color depth. This shade is appropriate for kitchens, dining areas, and living spaces where warmth is needed without high saturation.

It coordinates well with Simply White and Manchester Tan for a controlled neutral palette. Darker anchors such as Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide contrast and balance.
