Sherwin Williams

Overjoy

SW 6689

Overjoy by Sherwin-Williams is a saturated warm yellow with mild orange undertones that push it toward a golden tone. With an LRV of 58, it reflects moderate light and reads as a clearly chromatic mid-tone yellow rather than a pastel. It can be applied in kitchens, dining areas, and creative workspaces where a distinct warm hue is appropriate.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for clean trim contrast, Creamy for a softer adjacent neutral, Naval for a complementary blue accent, Secret Garden for a deep green counterpoint, and Debonair for a muted blue that tempers its warmth.
