Sherwin Williams

Golden Fleece

SW 6388

Golden Fleece is a warm yellow with a golden undertone, carrying an LRV of 46 that places it in the mid-range for light reflectance. Its moderate saturation and warmth make it functional in living rooms, hallways, and kitchens where a grounded yet approachable tone is needed. It pairs well with White Duck and Creamy on trim and cabinetry, maintaining a cohesive warm base without stark contrast.

Sea Serpent introduces a complementary cool-toned accent for furnishings or decorative elements, while Dard Hunter Green adds deep contrast and visual weight to the overall scheme.
