What color is Sherwin Williams Ancestral Gold?
Sherwin Williams Ancestral Gold SW 6407 is a light, muted golden beige with a gently sun-warmed cast. Its soft yellow undertone keeps it from reading like a plain tan, while the low saturation gives it a powdery, understated look on broad walls. In bright daylight, Ancestral Gold can appear creamy and pale; under warmer evening bulbs, its golden notes become more noticeable. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and living areas where a warm neutral is wanted without the weight of a deeper ochre. Pair this shade with off-white trim, honey-toned woods, aged brass, and earthy green or muted blue accents.

LRV of Ancestral Gold
Ancestral Gold has an LRV of 62.09% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 62.09%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
