Glidden

Glorious Gold

PPG1107-6

Brown softens the yellow in Glorious Gold, turning it into warm ochre rather than clear sunshine. Dining nooks, studies, built-in backing, and exterior doors can carry the golden warmth. Dark green and black metal give the color a firmer edge.

Because the LRV is 67, walls stay light enough without losing the strong color. Sample near wood floors. Warmth can stack quickly.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
