Sherwin Williams

Auric

SW 6692

Auric (hex #C48919) is a saturated warm yellow with amber undertones that produce a rich, deep gold tone. At an LRV of 30, it absorbs a significant amount of light, reading as bold and concentrated rather than bright and airy. The amber shift keeps it from appearing lemony, grounding the yellow in an earthy, ochre-adjacent range.

Pairing Auric with Sherwin-Williams Black Fox or Rookwood Dark Green creates strong value contrast, while analogous hues like Butter Up or Golden Fleece build a warm tonal gradient. Accessible Beige or Pure White can be used to temper its intensity.
