What color is Sherwin Williams Golden Fleece?
Sherwin Williams Golden Fleece SW 6388 is a warm, mid-tone golden tan with a clear honeyed cast. Its #d6ad78 color value reads as softly earthy rather than bright yellow, giving walls noticeable warmth without the intensity of a true gold. In daylight, it can appear lighter and more sun-washed, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper caramel-beige character. Golden Fleece suits dining rooms, entryways, and living areas where natural wood, woven fibers, leather, or aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, or medium walnut finishes for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Golden Fleece
Golden Fleece has an LRV of 45.61% 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 45.61%, 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.
