What color is Sherwin Williams Gambol Gold?
Sherwin Williams Gambol Gold SW 6690 is a clear, mid-tone golden yellow with a warm, sunlit character. Its #e1b047 color value suggests a noticeable ochre influence, keeping the yellow from reading overly lemony or bright. In direct daylight, Gambol Gold can feel lively and crisp, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its deeper honey-gold side. It has enough saturation to hold its own on a front door, kitchen island, or dining room accent wall, especially alongside creamy whites, charcoal gray, deep navy, and natural wood. For a more grounded look, pair this shade with aged brass, terracotta pottery, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Gambol Gold
Gambol Gold has an LRV of 47.75% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 47.75%, 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.
