What color is Sherwin Williams Angora?
Sherwin Williams Angora SW 6036 is a light, muted beige-gray with a soft rosy warmth beneath its neutral surface. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly pink, giving walls a gently weathered, powdery look instead. In warm artificial light, the blush-beige side becomes more noticeable, while cooler daylight can pull it closer to a pale greige. Angora is especially well suited to bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the starkness of plain gray. Pair it with creamy white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Angora
Angora has an LRV of 57.22% 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 57.22%, 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.
