What color is Sherwin Williams Avenue Tan?
Sherwin Williams Avenue Tan SW 7543 is a muted, mid-tone tan with a soft beige cast and a subtle gray-green restraint that keeps it from reading overly golden. Its moderate lightness gives walls enough presence without making a room feel dark or heavy. In bright natural light, Avenue Tan can appear lighter and more neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy, khaki-like warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of pale gray. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a layered, lived-in look.

LRV of Avenue Tan
Avenue Tan has an LRV of 44.12% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 44.12%, 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.
