Sherwin Williams

Lively Yellow

SW 6702

Lively Yellow SW 6702 is a warm yellow carrying a green undertone that tempers its brightness, with an LRV of 68 placing it in the higher reflectance range. The green shift prevents it from reading as stark or overly warm, giving it a slightly earthy, muted quality compared to purer yellows. It functions well in kitchens, breakfast nooks, and hallways with moderate to strong natural light.

Coordinate with Extra White SW 7006 for clean trim contrast, and consider Anjou Pear SW 6381 or Saffron Thread SW 6389 for tonal depth. Accessible Beige SW 7036 and Repose Gray SW 7015 balance adjacent walls.
