Sherwin Williams

Folksy Gold

SW 6360

Folksy Gold is a warm orange shade with a golden undertone that places it firmly in the amber-to-caramel range. At an LRV of 38, it carries moderate reflectance and works well on accent walls, in studies, or on exterior front doors. White Raisin and Shoji White serve as effective lighter companions for trim and adjacent walls, keeping the scheme cohesive.

Well-Bred Brown provides a deeper tonal anchor, while Rookwood Dark Green introduces a complementary contrast rooted in traditional color pairings. Warm lighting intensifies the golden cast.
