Sherwin Williams

Antiquity

SW 6402

Antiquity from Sherwin-Williams is a warm, muted yellow with earthy undertones, reading as a subdued gold at hex #C2A462. Its LRV of 39 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, giving it enough presence to anchor a wall without dominating the space. The ochre quality of this shade lends itself to traditional, rustic, or eclectic interiors where warmth is needed without high saturation.

It coordinates with warm whites like White Duck and Creamy for a cohesive feel, and deeper tones such as Naval or Secret Garden provide strong contrast. A muted blue-green like Silvermist balances its yellow base.
