What color is Sherwin Williams Antler Velvet?

Sherwin Williams Antler Velvet SW 9111 is a muted, mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm tan cast. Its softened, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the subtle rosy-brown influence in the color gives it more depth than a plain cream. In bright daylight, Antler Velvet can look like a light sandy neutral; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a deeper, earthier beige. It is well suited to living room and bedroom walls, especially alongside off-white trim, medium wood furniture, woven textures, and aged brass details. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep olive, or warm brown accents rather than icy grays.

What are Sherwin Williams Antler Velvet undertones?

Antler Velvet reads as a mid-light, muted yellow-beige with a noticeable orange direction and a soft, low-saturation appearance. The supplied digital color leans slightly warm, with a subtle red and yellow bias that keeps it from looking gray or stark. Sherwin-Williams classifies SW 9111 as a yellow paint color, which fits its visible yellow-based family even though the sample also shows beige and orange influences. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its golden-beige character, while cool daylight can make its muted beige side appear more apparent.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 43.39%, 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.
