What color is Sherwin Williams Olde World Gold?
Sherwin Williams Olde World Gold SW 7700 is a muted, earthy gold with brown and ochre undertones rather than a bright yellow cast. Its medium-dark depth gives it a grounded appearance, especially in rooms with natural wood, leather, or aged brass details. In strong daylight, this color can show more of its golden warmth, while evening light draws out its deeper brown side. Try it on a dining room wall, a study, or painted cabinetry where its substantial tone can anchor lighter cream, warm white, or dusty blue accents. Matte black hardware and medium-to-dark stained wood provide a crisp, practical contrast.

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.
