Sherwin Williams

Glad Yellow

SW 6694

Glad Yellow is a cheerful warm yellow with an LRV of 76, making it a high-reflectance option suitable for kitchens, breakfast nooks, and south-facing rooms where natural light amplifies its warmth. The color reads clean and open without veering into stark territory. It coordinates well with Creamy and Alabaster on trim and cabinetry, maintaining a cohesive warm foundation.

Naval offers a strong contrasting accent for furnishings or doors, while Secret Garden and Debonair introduce complementary depth without competing with the yellow's brightness.
