Sherwin Williams

Funky Yellow

SW 6913

Funky Yellow is a vibrant yellow with a distinctly warm undertone, posting an LRV of 65. Its saturated tone reads energetic without veering into neon territory, making it suitable for kitchens, playrooms, or accent walls where bold color is desired. The warm base prevents it from appearing acidic under artificial light.

Pair it with Seaworthy or Naval for strong contrast, or use Friendly Yellow as a lighter transitional tone. Pure White and Aesthetic White on trim and ceilings keep the overall palette balanced and grounded.
