What color is Sherwin Williams Olde World Gold?
Sherwin Williams Olde World Gold SW 7700 is a muted, medium-dark golden brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its #8f6c3e color value reads warm and grounded, leaning more toward aged ochre and bronze than a bright yellow gold. In daylight, it can show a softened, sunbaked warmth, while lower lighting brings out its deeper brown side. Use it on a dining room wall, library, entryway, or built-in cabinetry where a richer neutral feels appropriate. Olde World Gold pairs especially well with warm white trim, dark wood, black metal, natural leather, and stone finishes with tan or rust variation.

LRV of Olde World Gold
Olde World Gold has an LRV of 16.91% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.91%, 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.
