Sherwin Williams

Summer Day

SW 6662

Summer Day is a warm, saturated orange with strong yellow undertones that shift it toward a golden-amber tone. With an LRV of 47, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, providing a noticeable presence on walls without being excessively bright or dark. It reads as an energetic warm tone and can be applied in kitchens, living rooms, or children's rooms where an active atmosphere is appropriate.

For coordination, Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster work as lighter trim colors, Naval offers a strong cool contrast, and Ardent Coral and Friendly Yellow provide analogous warm-toned options nearby on the color wheel.
