What color is Sherwin Williams Different Gold?
Sherwin Williams Different Gold SW 6396 is a mid-tone golden ochre with a warm, earthy cast. Its #bc934d color value reads as a muted yellow-orange rather than a bright metallic gold, giving it enough depth for full walls without feeling neon. In strong daylight, the yellow notes come forward, while evening light can make it appear richer and more brown-gold. Different Gold suits a dining room, breakfast nook, or entry where a warm color can define the space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive green, charcoal, or dark wood furniture for contrast, and use black metal or aged brass hardware to reinforce its grounded warmth.

LRV of Different Gold
Different Gold has an LRV of 32.05% 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 32.05%, 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.
