What color is Sherwin Williams Kingdom Gold?
Sherwin Williams Kingdom Gold SW 6698 is a rich golden yellow with a clear ochre cast and noticeable warmth. Its medium-light depth keeps the color bright enough for a dining room, kitchen, or sunlit entry, while its saturation gives it more presence than a soft cream or muted beige. In warm afternoon light, Kingdom Gold can read especially sunny and amber; cooler daylight may bring out its earthy yellow side. Use it on an accent wall, painted cabinet island, or front door alongside crisp off-white trim, deep charcoal, and natural walnut. Matte black hardware, aged brass, terracotta, and woven textures give this shade a grounded, collected look.

LRV of Kingdom Gold
Kingdom Gold has an LRV of 40.65% 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 40.65%, 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.
