What color is Sherwin Williams Antiquity?
Sherwin Williams Antiquity SW 6402 is a muted golden tan with earthy ochre undertones and a softened, mid-depth presence. Its warm cast is clear without reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded color that feels especially at home in dining rooms, studies, and sunlit living areas. In bright daylight, Antiquity can show more of its dry, wheat-like gold; lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper brown-beige side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark walnut, aged brass, and olive or dusty green accents for a layered, natural palette. This shade has enough color for full-room walls but can also give cabinetry or a front door a distinctive, heritage-inspired warmth.

LRV of Antiquity
Antiquity has an LRV of 38.84% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.84%, 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.
