What color is Sherwin Williams Folksy Gold?
Sherwin Williams Folksy Gold SW 6360 is a warm, earthy golden-orange with a softened, sunbaked quality rather than a bright yellow cast. Its mid-tone depth gives it enough presence for dining room walls, a cozy den, or a painted front door, while its muted finish keeps it from feeling overly loud. In strong daylight, Folksy Gold can read more golden and lightly peachy; under warm bulbs, its clay-like orange undertone becomes more noticeable. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, or dark stained wood for a grounded contrast. It also sits naturally beside leather, terracotta tile, woven textures, and aged brass hardware.

LRV of Folksy Gold
Folksy Gold has an LRV of 37.99% 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 37.99%, 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.
