With cleanly balanced undertones, Gold Strand is a vivid very light, saturated warm yellow. With an LRV of 87, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. The closest cross-brand match is Hirshfield's's Mella Yella, a near-identical match. Sherwin-Williams's Optimistic Yellow is another strong alternative.
