Sherwin Williams

Chatura Gray

SW 9169

Cheerful (#FFC723) is a saturated, warm yellow with an LRV of 63, placing it in the upper-mid brightness range where it reads bold yet controlled. The hue is clean and direct, without significant orange or green undertones, making it straightforward to coordinate. It functions well as an accent in kitchens or creative workspaces.

Pairing it with Sherwin-Williams Creamy or Alabaster tempers its intensity, while deep contrasts like Naval or Secret Garden sharpen its impact. Softer companions such as Soft Apricot help transition the yellow into a broader scheme.
