Sherwin Williams

Slumber Sloth

SW 9606

Yolk (hex #ECC900) is a rich, saturated yellow that leans toward chartreuse, giving it a distinctly green-tinged warmth uncommon in standard yellows. At an LRV of 53.64, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, delivering strong color presence without absorbing too much light. The chartreuse undertone makes it read cooler than a pure golden yellow under daylight.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Limeade and Fresh Lime for an analogous green-yellow scheme, while Hale Navy provides a deep complementary contrast. Pairing with White Dove helps temper its intensity in larger applications.
