What color is Sherwin Williams Arrowroote?
Sherwin Williams Arrowroote SW 9502 is a light, muted beige with a soft wheat-yellow cast that keeps it from reading stark or gray. It has the look of finely milled oatmeal or pale natural linen, making it a useful backdrop for rooms that need warmth without a heavy tan presence. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lightly creamy, while north-facing rooms may bring out its quieter beige side. Use it on main walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways alongside warm white trim, oak floors, woven textiles, and honed stone. Walnut furniture, aged brass, terracotta pottery, and deep olive green give Arrowroote a grounded, collected feel.

LRV of Arrowroote
Arrowroote has an LRV of 73.49% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 73.49%, 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.
