Sherwin Williams

Yarrow

SW 6669

Yarrow is a saturated golden yellow from Sherwin-Williams with distinctly warm undertones that lean toward amber. At an LRV of 48, it reflects a moderate amount of light, placing it in the mid-range of brightness and giving walls a strong color presence without darkening a room significantly. The hue reads clearly as yellow with orange-leaning warmth, making it functional in kitchens, breakfast nooks, or accent walls where a pronounced color statement is needed.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim contrast, and can work alongside Copper Harbor, Accessible Beige, Naval, or Pewter Green in broader room schemes.
