Common questions
How many yellow paint colors does Sherwin-Williams have?
Sherwin-Williams publishes 158 yellow paint colors in the palettes it makes available, and all of them are listed on this page with their color code, hex value, RGB, Light Reflectance Value and undertone.
What is the paint code for a yellow color on this page?
Every swatch shows its manufacturer code beneath the name - Sherwin-Williams Pineapple Cream is SW1668, for example. That code is what a store mixes from, and it is unique to its brand: the same code at another manufacturer is an unrelated color.
Which Sherwin-Williams yellow paint colors suit a dark room?
The ones with a high Light Reflectance Value, which is the percentage of light a color reflects. These yellow colors run from LRV 8.0 (Sherwin-Williams Secret Garden) to LRV 81.7 (Sherwin-Williams Pineapple Cream); above 60 keeps a room bright, below 30 reads as a deep color and absorbs the light a dark room has left.
Are these yellow paint colors warm or cool?
Both - 158 of the 158 are warm and 0 are cool, with the rest neutral. The label is computed from each color's hue angle and chroma in CIE L*a*b*, not from its name, so it can be compared across brands. Warm yellow suits north-facing rooms, cool yellow suits rooms that already get strong afternoon light.
What is the equivalent of a Sherwin-Williams yellow color in another brand?
Open any swatch on this page. It lists the closest color in each of the other brands with a ΔE00 figure - perceived color difference, where under 1.0 is indistinguishable side by side and above 4 is visible across a room. The comparison covers published color values only, not sheen, base or coverage.
Is this the Sherwin-Williams yellow shade card?
It is the same information, online and searchable. Where a printed shade card or colour chart gives you a chip and a name, every yellow swatch here carries its code, hex, RGB, LRV and undertone, and its nearest equivalents at the other brands - with nothing to download and no fan deck to order.
