Sherwin Williams

Lantern Light

SW 6687

Lantern Light (SW 6687) is a bright warm yellow with golden undertones that reads as a rich, buttery tone on the wall. With an LRV of 76, it reflects a high percentage of light and can visually expand smaller rooms such as kitchens, breakfast nooks, and entryways. The golden undertone gives it warmth without pushing it toward orange.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Accessible Beige, Anjou Pear, Compatible Cream, and Dover White, all of which sit comfortably within a warm neutral framework.
