Sherwin Williams

Tarnished Treasure

SW 9118

Tarnished Treasure is a warm yellow-brown from Sherwin-Williams with noticeable earthy and golden undertones, reading as a muted ochre on the wall. Its hex value of #B9A47E and LRV of 38 place it in the medium reflectance range, meaning it absorbs a fair amount of light while still maintaining moderate brightness. This color works well in living rooms, dining spaces, and hallways where a grounded warmth is needed.

It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Whole Wheat and Wool Skein for tonal layering, while Nomadic Desert, Blonde, and Accessible Beige offer complementary neutral pairings.
