What color is Sherwin Williams Glitzy Gold?
Sherwin Williams Glitzy Gold SW 6691 is a clear, saturated golden yellow with a noticeable orange cast. Its #d6a02b color value gives it a warm, mid-depth appearance that reads more like a bold paint statement than a soft neutral. Use Glitzy Gold on a dining room accent wall, a painted interior door, or a small piece of cabinetry where its strong color can be appreciated up close. It pairs naturally with creamy whites, charcoal gray, deep navy, and warm wood tones. In brighter light, this shade can appear sunnier and more yellow-forward, while lower light may bring out its richer amber-gold character.

LRV of Glitzy Gold
Glitzy Gold has an LRV of 39.44% 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 39.44%, 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.
