What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Antique Gold?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Antique Gold SW 2814 is a muted golden-brown with a dry, earthy cast rather than a bright yellow-gold look. Its medium depth and softened saturation give it enough presence for a full room, especially in dining rooms, studies, or entryways with warm wood trim. In bright daylight, this color can read as a sunbaked ochre, while lower or warmer light brings forward its brown undertone. Rookwood Antique Gold pairs well with walnut, aged brass, blackened iron, and creamy off-whites. It also makes a grounded choice for cabinetry, interior doors, or an exterior accent against darker brown or charcoal details.

LRV of Rookwood Antique Gold
Rookwood Antique Gold has an LRV of 24.75% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.75%, 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.
