Sherwin Williams
Quilt Gold
SW 6696
The golden base gives it more weight than a pale butter yellow, reading distinctly as yellow rather than a warm off-white. Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster coordinate as lighter neutrals, White Duck works as warm trim, and Naval or Secret Garden provide contrasting depth.

Quilt Gold in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
58.0LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
