What color is Sherwin Williams Quilt Gold?

Sherwin Williams Quilt Gold SW 6696 is a clear, sunlit gold with a warm yellow base and a softly muted finish. Its medium-light depth gives it enough presence for a dining room, kitchen, or entry without reading as overly dark or orange. In bright daylight, Quilt Gold can appear cheerful and buttery, while lower or warmer artificial light draws out its richer golden character. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood tones, aged brass, or deep charcoal accents for contrast. This shade is especially effective on an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door where its color can take center stage.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 57.65%, 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.
