Sherwin Williams

Chamomile

SW 6399

Chamomile (hex #E9E0C5) is a soft, warm yellow with subtle golden undertones, sitting at an LRV of 75, which gives it strong light-reflective properties and a bright, open quality. Its warmth is mild rather than saturated, reading as a tinted off-white under most lighting conditions. This makes it functional in kitchens, living rooms, and sunrooms where light amplification is desirable.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster serve as closely related lighter companions. For contrast, Naval and Bravado Red create strong visual separation, while muted earth tones and soft greens maintain a warm, cohesive scheme.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
