What color is Sherwin Williams Sconce Gold?

Sherwin Williams Sconce Gold SW 6398 is a deep, earthy gold with a clear brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright or yellow. Its warm, muted character can read like aged ochre or burnished wood, especially in rooms with soft natural light. On a full wall, Sconce Gold brings substantial color and is best suited to dining rooms, dens, entryways, or other spaces that can handle a richer backdrop. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or a focal wall when paired with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, dark brown wood, black metal, and natural leather. Brighter daylight may reveal more of its golden side, while evening light tends to emphasize its deeper brown depth.

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 18.26%, 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.
