Sherwin Williams

Jonquil

SW 6674

SW 6674 Jonquil is a warm yellow with a golden undertone, registering an LRV of 68, which gives it strong light reflectance while maintaining visible color saturation. The golden cast prevents it from reading as lemony, pushing it toward a rich, buttery tone. It performs well in kitchens, breakfast nooks, and west-facing rooms where it complements natural afternoon light.

Jonquil coordinates effectively with Alabaster (SW 7008), Anjou Pear (SW 6381), Tatami Tan (SW 6116), Extra White (SW 7006), and Butterfield (SW 6676).
