A deep gold color corresponds to which SRM value?

A deep gold color in beer is typically associated with an SRM (Standard Reference Method) value of approximately 6. The SRM scale is a tool used to measure the color of beer, where lower values correspond to lighter shades and higher values indicate darker shades.

At an SRM of 6, the beer exhibits a noticeable richness and depth that is identifiable as a deep gold, which sets it apart from lighter gold beers that might have an SRM value closer to 4. As SRM values increase, the color moves into amber or brown ranges, which would not be accurately described as deep gold. Therefore, a value of 6 captures that specific shade well, making it the correct choice for deep gold coloration.
