What color is Sherwin Williams Tarnished Trumpet?

Sherwin Williams Tarnished Trumpet SW 9026 is a muted golden tan with soft ochre and sandy beige undertones. Its mid-light depth keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded warmth rather than a bright gold effect. In sunlit rooms, Tarnished Trumpet can show more of its honeyed cast, while lower or cooler light may make it appear quieter and more khaki-beige. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and living spaces where natural wood, aged brass, woven fibers, and cream upholstery are part of the palette. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, deep olive greens, clay browns, or charcoal accents for contrast.
