Sherwin Williams

Sequin

SW 6394

Sequin is a warm mid-tone yellow with golden-tan undertones that give it an amber-leaning character rather than a bright citrus quality. Its LRV of 57 provides moderate light reflectance, maintaining warmth without darkening the space significantly. This color is frequently used in kitchens, dining rooms, and entryways where a warm wall tone is appropriate.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Creamy for trim, and sits comfortably alongside Mannered Gold, Restrained Gold, and Whole Wheat in warm-toned combinations.
