What color is Sherwin Williams Gold Coast?

Sherwin Williams Gold Coast SW 6376 is a rich golden ochre with a clear earthy orange cast. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough presence for a dining room wall, a sunlit entry, or painted cabinetry that needs more character than a neutral. In bright daylight, Gold Coast reads warm and burnished, while lower lighting can bring out its deeper amber-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural oak or walnut for a grounded palette. It is especially effective as an accent color on built-ins, interior doors, or exterior trim where its saturated warmth can stand out.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 29.39%, 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.
