Sherwin Williams

Midday

SW 6695

Midday is a vibrant warm yellow with an LRV of 70, making it a strong light reflector suited to kitchens, breakfast nooks, and south-facing rooms where warm natural light is already present. Its undertones lean slightly golden rather than citrus, keeping it grounded enough for larger wall applications. It coordinates well with Alabaster (SW 7008) for trim, and pairs naturally with Mindful Gray (SW 7016), Naval (SW 6244), Creamy (SW 7012), and Sage (SW 2860) in transitional or traditional palettes.
