Sherwin Williams

Vintage Gold

SW 9024

Vintage Gold is a warm, medium-depth yellow with brown undertones, carrying an LRV of 41. Its golden base is tempered by an earthy quality that prevents it from reading as a bright or primary yellow, instead presenting a muted, ochre-like tone on walls. The brown undertone becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting, while natural light draws out more of the yellow character.

This color suits dining rooms, kitchens, and home offices. Sherwin-Williams White Flour and Creamy complement its warm base, and Naval, Secret Garden, and Friendly Yellow provide range for broader palettes.
