Sherwin Williams

Goldenrod

SW 6677

Goldenrod SW 6677 is a warm yellow with orange undertones and an LRV of 50, sitting at the midpoint of the reflectance scale. It functions effectively in kitchens, mudrooms, and casual living spaces where a warm but not overpowering tone is needed. Creamy works as a reliable trim color to soften transitions, while Naval provides sharp contrast on doors or accent pieces.

Inviting Ivory on adjacent surfaces prevents visual heaviness, and Friendly Yellow extends the tonal range in open floor plans where color continuity matters.

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.
