What color is Sherwin Williams Golden Rule?
Sherwin Williams Golden Rule SW 6383 is a warm, medium-deep golden ochre with a clear amber cast. Its #cc9249 color value gives it noticeable richness, sitting between honeyed yellow and muted orange rather than reading as a pale gold. In bright daylight, Golden Rule can appear sunnier and more golden, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its earthy, caramel-like depth. It makes a strong choice for dining room walls, a powder room, or an accent wall where the color can hold its own. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural woods such as walnut or oak.

LRV of Golden Rule
Golden Rule has an LRV of 33.76% 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 33.76%, 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.
