What color is Sherwin Williams Bakelite Gold?
Sherwin Williams Bakelite Gold SW 6368 is a warm, mid-tone golden orange with a noticeable earthy, clay-like cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as a bright yellow, while the orange-brown undertone gives it substantial presence on a wall. In strong daylight, it can appear sunnier and more golden; lower or warmer lighting brings forward its deeper amber notes. Bakelite Gold suits dining rooms, entryways, and accent walls where a grounded color is wanted, and it can also make a characterful choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, warm wood, aged brass, or dark brown accents for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Bakelite Gold
Bakelite Gold has an LRV of 38.13% 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 38.13%, 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.
