What color is Sherwin Williams Gold Crest?
Sherwin Williams Gold Crest SW 6670 is a clear, medium golden orange with a sunny yellow base and a noticeable warm amber cast. Its rich saturation gives it presence without reading as dark, making it especially effective on a front door, painted furniture, or a single focal wall. In direct daylight, Gold Crest appears brighter and more yellow; under warm interior bulbs, it shifts toward a deeper honeyed orange. Pair this color with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, charcoal accents, or natural wood for contrast that keeps the palette grounded. It can bring welcome energy to a breakfast nook, mudroom, playroom, or an exterior detail that needs a confident burst of color.

LRV of Gold Crest
Gold Crest has an LRV of 38.8% 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 38.8%, 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.
