Yam

Yam is a saturated, warm orange from Sherwin-Williams with brown undertones that anchor its brightness and give it a roasted, earthy quality. At an LRV of 23, it absorbs most light and reads as a deep, rich tone on walls, making adequate lighting important when using it over large areas. It is best applied on accent walls, in kitchens, or in dining areas where its warmth can be concentrated rather than overwhelming.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Whole Wheat for a warm tonal pairing, Naval for a bold complementary contrast, Svelte Sage for a muted green balance, and Alabaster for clean, neutral trim.
