Sconce Gold

SW 6398

Sconce Gold is a deep warm yellow with earthy golden-brown undertones, registering an LRV of 18, which places it in the darker range and limits light reflectance substantially. The hue leans toward ochre rather than bright yellow, giving it a grounded, saturated appearance. It can be applied on accent walls, in dining rooms, or on exterior doors.

Sconce Gold coordinates with Sherwin-Williams White Duck as a lighter contrast, Creamy for trim, Naval for a complementary pairing, Renwick Golden Oak for tonal warmth, and Compatible Cream to soften adjacent surfaces.
