Sherwin Williams

Blonde

SW 6128

Blonde (hex #DCBD92) is a warm yellow with noticeable beige undertones, placing it in the golden-neutral range rather than a bright or saturated yellow. Its LRV of 54 provides moderate reflectance, offering warmth without excessive brightness. The beige base keeps it grounded, preventing it from reading as overtly cheerful or intense.

It layers naturally with other warm neutrals such as Roman Column and Nomadic Desert for a tonal, low-contrast scheme. For directional contrast, deeper blues like Naval or Smoky Blue anchor the palette, while analogous shades like Compatible Cream and Restrained Gold maintain a consistent warm throughline.
