Lewis Gold

3005-7C

Lewis Gold is a muted golden tan with an ochre undertone. It feels warm and established. A dining room, entry, or built-in cabinet can use the extra character.

On walls, it looks richer in afternoon sun. Try dark wood or cream trim beside it. If nearby brass is very yellow, sample first so the metal and wall color do not blend.

Lewis 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 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.
