Sherwin Williams

Afterglow

SW 6667

Afterglow (SW, #F6CD8E) is a warm yellow with noticeable peach undertones, sitting at an LRV of 65. This reflectance level produces a moderately bright surface that reads as a soft golden tone rather than a saturated primary yellow. The peach influence tempers the warmth, keeping it muted rather than sharp.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Creamy for a layered warm-neutral scheme. Naval provides a strong cool contrast, while Black Fox anchors it with depth. Analogous warm tones in coral or soft terracotta ranges complement its golden-peach character.
