Sherwin Williams

Nugget

SW 6697

Nugget is a warm golden yellow with earthy undertones and an LRV of 46, placing it at a moderate reflectance that delivers saturated color without excessive brightness. The earthy base prevents it from reading as sharp or acidic, grounding it for use in kitchens, dining rooms, or accent walls where warm energy is intended. It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Dover White, Roycroft Brass, Renwick Golden Oak, Alabaster, and Hardware, supporting schemes that range from harvest-toned to refined gold-and-white combinations.

Lighting conditions have minimal impact on its overall warmth.
