Sherwin Williams

Lily

SW 6693

Lily SW 6693 is a soft yellow with cream hints that keep it from reading as saturated or overtly bright. With an LRV of 81, it is a high-reflectance color well suited to kitchens, sunrooms, and north-facing rooms where maximum light return is beneficial. Its warm cream base helps it avoid the coolness that some pale yellows exhibit.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW 7006 for trim contrast and pairs with Accessible Beige SW 7036, Pewter Green SW 6208, Urbane Bronze SW 7048, and Dover White SW 6385.
