Olde World Gold

SW 7700

Olde World Gold (SW 7700) is a warm, earthy golden brown with an LRV of 17. This deep mid-tone sits squarely in the amber-brown family, reading as a rich caramel with enough saturation to feel distinctly warm without veering into orange. It suits studies, dining rooms, and accent applications such as built-in cabinetry or wainscoting.

Pair it with Creamy (SW 7012) or Shoji White (SW 7042) for effective contrast. It coordinates well with Roycroft Brass (SW 2843), Leather Bound (SW 6118), and Balanced Beige (SW 7037) in traditional warm schemes.
