Sherwin Williams

Acanthus

SW 0029

Yellow Rain Coat by Benjamin Moore is a classic bright yellow with a hex value of #FFD867 and an LRV of 68.87, meaning it reflects a substantial portion of light and reads as noticeably luminous on surfaces. Its undertones lean warm and clean, with minimal green or orange pull, keeping the hue squarely in mid-yellow territory. This saturation level makes it effective for lifting darker or north-facing rooms.

It pairs naturally with White Dove or Gray Owl to temper its brightness, Hale Navy for strong tonal contrast, and Fernwood Green or Newburyport Blue for adjacent-palette coordination.

Acanthus in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
