SW 2861

Yellow Brick Road (2024-20) is a golden yellow with warm undertones, hex #F1CC54, and an LRV of 58.19, giving it a solid mid-to-high reflectance that reads as cheerful without excessive brightness. The gold bias distinguishes it from cooler or more acidic yellows and lends itself to kitchens, dining rooms, and children's spaces across traditional to contemporary styles. Deep blues such as Hale Navy or softer grays like Coventry Gray provide striking contrast, while analogous tones including Autumn Cover and Saybrook Sage complement the golden base and add depth.
