What color is Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige?

Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige SW 7037 is a mid-tone neutral with noticeable taupe and soft gray undertones, giving it more depth than a standard tan. It reads earthy and slightly muted rather than yellow, much like weathered stone warmed by the sun. In bright daylight it can appear lighter and more greige, while north-facing rooms may bring out its cooler gray side; lamps and evening light tend to reveal its warmer beige base. Use it on living room, hallway, or open-plan walls when you want a grounded backdrop that does not feel stark. Balanced Beige pairs naturally with creamy warm whites, oak or walnut furniture, linen upholstery, aged brass, and charcoal or deep green accents.

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 45.6%, 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.
