SW 9013

Olden Amber (SW 9013) is a warm yellow with orange undertones, registering an LRV of 53. At this mid-range reflectance, it delivers noticeable warmth while still reflecting a moderate amount of light. The orange undertone gives it a honey-like quality that distinguishes it from purer yellows.

It works comfortably in kitchens, breakfast nooks, and hallways. Pair it with Pure White (SW 7005) for clean trim lines, and coordinate with Anjou Pear (SW 6381), Cardboard (SW 6124), Pewter Tankard (SW 0023), and Polished Mahogany (SW 2838) in warm layered schemes.
