Sherwin Williams

Sunflower

SW 6678

Sunflower is a saturated, golden yellow with warm amber undertones that give it a deep, rich appearance compared to lighter yellows. Its LRV of 40 places it in the medium range, reflecting a moderate amount of light while still delivering strong color. Because of its high saturation, it works best as an accent wall or in kitchens and informal spaces rather than as a whole-room application.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster function as lighter trim and ceiling pairings, Slate Tile and Cyberspace offer deep contrast, and Rejuvenate and Spicy Hue provide warm analogous options that extend the golden palette.
