What color is Sherwin Williams Bauhaus Buff?
Sherwin Williams Bauhaus Buff SW 7552 is a light, muted buff with a creamy beige base and a soft peach-tan cast. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and bright, while the warm undertone prevents it from reading like a stark white. In daylight, Bauhaus Buff appears gently sun-warmed; under incandescent lighting, its beige notes may become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-home wall color schemes where a quiet warm neutral is needed. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, terracotta, or deeper brown accents for a grounded finish.

LRV of Bauhaus Buff
Bauhaus Buff has an LRV of 72.06% 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 72.06%, 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.
