Sherwin Williams

Gallant Gold

SW 6391

Gallant Gold is a rich warm yellow with brown undertones, registering an LRV of 21. This deeper value places it firmly in the mid-dark range, reading as a burnished amber tone suitable for studies, dining rooms, or accent applications where warmth and density are needed. The brown undertone grounds the yellow, preventing it from reading too brassy.

Creamy and Accessible Beige work as lighter wall or trim companions, while Naval and Hunt Club offer strong contrasting accents. Honey Bees provides a lighter tonal bridge within the same color family.
