Sherwin Williams

They call it Mellow

SW 9015

They Call It Mellow is a light, warm yellow from Sherwin-Williams with soft golden undertones and minimal saturation, giving it a buttery, subdued appearance rather than a bold primary yellow. With an LRV of 79, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as an airy, open tone on the wall, making it functional in kitchens, sunrooms, and smaller rooms that benefit from added brightness. It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster for a warm, light-on-light scheme.

Introducing Filmy Green or Tradewind as accents provides a gentle cool contrast, while Tricorn Black can be used for sharp architectural definition.
