Brittlebush

SW 6684

Brittlebush (#EAAE47) is a warm, saturated yellow with golden undertones, landing at an LRV of 48. That mid-range reflectance gives it enough depth to read as a definitive color rather than a pale tint, while still keeping rooms reasonably bright. The golden warmth differentiates it from lemon yellows and anchors it in an earthy, marigold range.

Sherwin-Williams Friendly Yellow and Alabaster offer lighter analogous and neutral pairings, respectively. For contrast, Naval and Secret Garden supply cool depth, while Debonair introduces a muted blue complement.
