What color is Sherwin Williams Ancient Marble?
Sherwin Williams Ancient Marble SW 6162 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low-saturation color keeps walls from reading overly creamy, while still providing more warmth than a typical pale gray. In bright daylight, Ancient Marble can appear like a weathered stone neutral; under warm lamps, its beige and subtle olive notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a quiet neutral is needed without a stark white backdrop. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Ancient Marble
Ancient Marble has an LRV of 60.24% 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 60.24%, 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.
