Sherwin Williams

Eye Catching

SW 6914

Eye Catching is a vivid, warm yellow with subtle golden and amber undertones that give it a strong, saturated presence. At an LRV of 50, it reflects a moderate amount of light and carries enough intensity to function as an accent on doors, furniture, or feature walls rather than full-room coverage. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black, Charcoal Blue, Alabaster, Naval, and Urbane Bronze, where darker or neutral companions temper its brightness.

In north-facing rooms, it reads warmer, while south-facing light intensifies its golden cast.

Eye Catching in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
