Sherwin Williams

Calico

SW 0017

Yellow Roses by Benjamin Moore, hex #F6E485, is a soft, light yellow with a measured LRV of 73.53, placing it in the high-reflectance range. Its undertones carry a slight green-gold cast rather than orange, giving it a clean, sunlit read without excessive warmth. The color maintains enough pigment to avoid washing out under strong lighting.

For coordinated schemes, Simply White and Chantilly Lace provide crisp, cool-white trim pairings, while Hale Navy and Charcoal Slate offer deep-value contrast. Saybrook Sage complements its soft warmth with a muted green connection.
