What color is Sherwin Williams Gallant Gold?
Sherwin Williams Gallant Gold SW 6391 is a medium-depth golden brown with a muted ochre cast rather than a bright yellow finish. Its earthy warmth can read more honeyed in direct afternoon light, while lower or cooler light brings forward its softened brown undertone. Gallant Gold makes a grounded choice for dining rooms, studies, and entryways, especially where wood furniture or aged brass details are part of the scheme. Use it on an accent wall or painted cabinetry with warm off-white trim, deep charcoal, clay tones, and natural materials such as walnut, leather, or woven grasscloth.

LRV of Gallant Gold
Gallant Gold has an LRV of 21.29% 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 21.29%, 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.
