Sherwin Williams

Golden Rule

SW 6383

Golden Rule SW 6383 is a warm orange with amber undertones and an LRV of 34, placing it in the medium-reflectance range. This color works well as an accent wall in dining rooms, studies, or entryways where a grounded warmth is needed. Accessible Beige and Shoji White provide neutral balance on surrounding walls and trim.

Naval delivers strong contrast as a complementary accent, while Isle of Pines and Friendly Yellow extend the warm palette. Coral Clay reinforces the amber tones when layered in textiles or accessories.
