What color is Sherwin Williams Restrained Gold?
Sherwin Williams Restrained Gold SW 6129 is a muted golden beige with a noticeable tan base and soft orange-gold warmth. Its mid-light depth gives walls color without making them feel heavily saturated, especially in rooms with ample natural light. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a sandy honey neutral, while warmer evening bulbs bring out its deeper golden cast. Restrained Gold suits dining rooms, entryways, and living spaces where wood furniture, woven textures, or aged brass are part of the mix. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige trim, deep brown accents, or muted olive textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Restrained Gold
Restrained Gold has an LRV of 46.57% 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 46.57%, 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.
