Sherwin Williams

Parakeet

SW 6711

Parakeet is a mid-tone yellow-green from Sherwin-Williams with prominent warm, yellow undertones visible in its hex value (#B4B05A). At an LRV of 41, it falls in the medium reflectance range, absorbing a moderate amount of light while still reading as a clearly saturated color on walls. This shade can function on feature walls, mudroom cabinetry, or in kitchens where a distinct color statement is intended.

It sits naturally alongside Sherwin-Williams Lime Rickey and Dancing Green within the same green-yellow family, while Shoji White provides a clean neutral backdrop and Charcoal Blue offers a contrasting deeper tone for trim or accents.
