Sherwin Williams

Polished Mahogany

SW 2838

Yellow Highlighter (hex #FFDE64) is a bright, medium-saturated yellow with an LRV of 70.94, giving it strong light reflectance and a noticeably luminous quality on walls. Its undertones are straightforwardly warm yellow without significant orange or green deviation, producing a direct, clear hue. The high brightness paired with moderate saturation keeps it from reading as either pastel or neon, landing instead as a concentrated sunny yellow.

It gains depth beside Hale Navy or Salamander as contrasting anchors, works in sequence with Golden Straw and Lemon Sorbet as analogous companions, and reads cleanly against a neutral like Chantilly Lace.
