What color is Sherwin Williams Acanthus?
Sherwin Williams Acanthus SW 0029 is a light, muted khaki-beige with a noticeable yellow cast and a soft gray-green restraint. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly golden, giving walls a quiet, slightly aged plaster look rather than a crisp cream finish. In bright daylight, Acanthus can appear lighter and more parchment-like, while evening lighting brings out its warmer olive-beige side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is wanted without using plain white or gray. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, natural linen, and deeper olive or charcoal accents.

LRV of Acanthus
Acanthus has an LRV of 60.14% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 60.14%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
