How Does This Color Feel in a Space?
Undoubtedly, Sherwin Williams Jubilee will add a tranquilizing vibe while making your space seem larger than it is.
Not only due to medium light reflectivity but also the cool and calm undertones that result in creating an illusion of pushing away the walls.
Yes! It plays multiple roles here.
Apart from that, I recommend warmer regions to incorporate this hue as it will balance the saturation while releasing those relaxed vibes when you feel burnt out!
You might find tons of southern states using this color on the exteriors as well – because it truly reflects away the incoming light.
How Does Light Affect the Color?
Light plays up to some levels of excitement here!
Of course, it makes your space look larger, enhanced, and spacious – but also it is responsible for creating a certain mood.
For instance, if you plan to use this paint in the south or west-facing rooms – it will appear slightly warmer and washed off (but not completely).
Whereas in the north-facing rooms, it may exhibit chill vibes due to cool incoming rays.
Either way, artificial lighting can help you!
I’ll say this again – get some wall samples to try on this color in your own home and confirm if it’ll work or if you need to try something else.
What are the Best Coordinating Colors?
Now comes one of the best parts to talk about – color palettes and color schemes!
Since you are now planning to use this paint color in your home – I must tell you, choosing a cohesive color palette is important.
(otherwise, your space might look all messed up)
So, you could either amalgamate colors of the same family to create a monochromatic palette or choose a fun-loving contrasting color palette that creates a sense of depth and excitement in your space.
Firstly, I am going to enlist paint colors to be used for a monochromatic palette.
- SW 6247 Krypton – see my full guide here
- SW 9152 Let it Rain
- SW 6249 Storm Cloud – see my full guide here
You can definitely mix and blend all of them through paint colors, decorative accents like throws and artwork, and upholstery!
Secondly, I am going to enlist paint colors to be used for a contrasting palette.
- SW 7006 Extra White – see my guide on Extra White here
- SW 6282 Mauve Finery
- SW 6129 Restrained Gold
In the case of ceilings, trims, and moldings – I would recommend using SW Pure White or SW High Reflectance White to further understand the true hue and its undertones.

Let’s discuss how to incorporate this paint color in your home!
Jubilee in Living and Dining Rooms
Definitely a great option!

You can also add various accents through your throw pillows, blankets, and accent accessories and furniture.
In the case of a fireplace – you can choose natural stone cladding, indeed.
Using in Kitchens
There is no better way to incorporate this paint color in kitchens if it is not on the cabinets.
If you have a large and spacious kitchen – using this paint color is definitely good to go!
On the other hand, you can pair it with a beige or white backdrop, black granite or marble countertop, and chrome or brass finish fixtures, drawers, and pull handles!
You could also go vice versa and let the airier kitchen play magic with white cabinets on board!
Jubilee in Bedrooms and Bathrooms
I always say, your bedroom is your most personal possession.
It should really define you, your personality, and what you want!
So, if you plan to use this paint color – make sure to only use it on the accent wall or the headboard wall if it is a smaller room.
Else, you are free to paint all the walls.
Furthermore, you can use bright chandeliers and knitted lampshades to add a natural context to your bedroom.
Using on Exteriors
Playing with Jubilee on exteriors could be quite a fun business.
You need to assure pairing it with lighter shades like whites on trims and columns to create a cohesive yet attractive exterior color palette.
So, keep in mind to use lighter beiges, off-whites, whites, and greys!
But a plus point is that you can use any shade of stone if you are planning to use it!
I Recommend Sampling Jubilee!
If you’re on the fence and need a bit of convincing, try this color on for size by ordering a peel-and-stick sample from Samplize.
These are my favorite way to test colors in a space and to see how they work with other coordinating colors.
It doesn’t cost all that much, and you can temporarily place these handy 12″ x 12″ squares that are true to color around your house. I love them!
