What color is Sherwin Williams Goldenrod?
Sherwin Williams Goldenrod SW 6677 is a bright, sunlit golden yellow with a noticeable orange cast. Its high saturation gives it a cheerful, energetic presence, especially in rooms with strong natural light, where it can read almost like marigold. In lower or warmer artificial light, the color becomes richer and more honeyed. Goldenrod is best used where a concentrated hit of color feels appropriate: a front door, kitchen island, dining nook, painted furniture, or an accent wall. Pair it with creamy whites, warm charcoal, deep navy, or natural wood to give its bold warmth some contrast.

LRV of Goldenrod
Goldenrod has an LRV of 50.11% 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 50.11%, 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.
