What color is Sherwin Williams Bee's Wax?

In bright daylight, Bee's Wax can read as a soft honeyed tan, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its richer amber cast. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, and powder rooms where a warm backdrop feels appropriate.

LRV of Bee's Wax
Bee's Wax has an LRV of 56.61% 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 56.61%, 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.
