Sherwin Williams

Solaria

SW 6688

Solaria is a saturated warm yellow with slight golden undertones and an LRV of 70, making it a high-reflectance color that increases the perceived brightness of a room. The hue carries enough chroma to read distinctly as yellow rather than cream or buff. It works well in kitchens, sunrooms, entryways, and children's rooms.

Because of its saturation, it is often more effective on a single accent wall or in smaller doses alongside lighter neutrals. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Creamy provide warm whites for trim, Butternut extends the yellow range, Naval offers complementary blue contrast, and Intellectual Gray balances the palette.
