Crispy Gold

SW 6699

Crispy Gold (SW, #C49832) is a saturated warm yellow with pronounced golden undertones, placing it firmly in the yellow-amber range. At an LRV of 35, it reflects a moderate amount of light and carries enough depth to function as a statement color rather than a background neutral. The golden cast gives it density and warmth that intensifies under warm artificial lighting.

Sherwin-Williams Lemon Meringue and Friendly Yellow offer lighter analogous companions that extend the warm palette upward in value. Alabaster provides a clean, high-LRV trim option, while Naval or Dard Hunter Green deliver strong cool-toned contrast.
