Sherwin Williams

Bakelite Gold

SW 6368

Bakelite Gold (hex #D7995D) is a warm, muted orange with yellow undertones that lend it a golden, amber-like quality. At an LRV of 38, it sits in the lower-medium reflectance range, absorbing a moderate amount of light while still maintaining visible warmth and color presence. The yellow undertone keeps it from reading as a pure orange, shifting it toward a burnished gold that avoids excessive brightness.

Sherwin-Williams Rookwood Dark Red and Black Fox anchor it with deeper, richer companions. Cavern Clay and Copper Mountain work as analogous tonal neighbors, while Stardew provides a cool blue counterpoint.
