What color is Sherwin Williams August Moon?
Sherwin Williams August Moon SW 7687 is a light, warm tan with a clear peachy-gold cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the pale value gives walls a gently sunlit appearance. In bright natural light, August Moon can look creamy and lightly apricot; under warmer lamps, its beige and caramel notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and hallways where a warmer neutral is wanted without the weight of a deeper camel. Pair it with ivory trim, warm white linen, natural oak, woven grasscloth, or muted terracotta accents for a layered, grounded palette.

LRV of August Moon
August Moon has an LRV of 60.37% 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 60.37%, 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.
