Polvo de Oro

SW 9012

Polvo de Oro is a warm, medium-toned orange-gold with soft golden undertones that give it a muted, approachable warmth rather than a saturated orange appearance. At an LRV of 53, it falls in the mid-range for light reflectance, making it suitable as a main wall color without darkening a room significantly. This shade works in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a warm atmosphere is intended.

It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Naval for a strong cool-warm contrast, Shoji White as a clean neutral trim, Mellow Coral for a tonal warm pairing, and Accessible Beige to transition into adjacent neutral spaces.
