Sherwin Williams

Lakeside

SW 9683

Yellow Freeze (hex #FBF7DD) is a very pale, cream-tinted yellow with an LRV of 86.99, placing it near the top of the reflectance scale. Its undertones lean warm ivory rather than stark white, producing a faintly tinted neutral that reads as soft yellow only under direct comparison to true whites. This high reflectance makes it functional in low-light rooms where wall brightness matters.

It coordinates well with cool neutrals such as Gray Owl and Silver Satin, gains definition when set against deeper tones like Hale Navy, and sits comfortably beside related pale tints like Lemon Chiffon and Pale Moon.

Lakeside 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.
