Sherwin Williams

Afternoon

SW 6675

Afternoon (SW, #FBCB78) is a warm yellow with golden undertones, registering an LRV of 65. It reflects a substantial amount of light, reading as a clear, sun-toned hue with consistent warmth across lighting conditions. The golden base gives it more depth than a typical pastel yellow without veering into orange territory.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Cachet Cream sit comfortably alongside it in a tonal warm palette. For contrast, Naval introduces a deep blue complement, while Secret Garden provides a green counterpoint. Sandbank and Frosty White offer lighter neutral companions that maintain warmth.
