What color is Sherwin Williams Beachcomber?
Sherwin Williams Beachcomber SW 9617 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm tan cast. Its #d0c1ac color value reads as softly earthy rather than creamy white, with low saturation that keeps the color quiet on large wall areas. In bright daylight, Beachcomber can appear lighter and slightly sandier, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper beige-brown character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with off-white trim, medium oak, woven natural fibers, charcoal accents, or dusty blue-gray textiles for contrast.

LRV of Beachcomber
Beachcomber has an LRV of 54.73% 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 54.73%, 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.
