What color is Sherwin Williams Beige Intenso?
Sherwin Williams Beige Intenso SW 9096 is a medium-light beige with a warm, softly muted tan cast. Its #c5a88d color value suggests a noticeable golden-brown warmth rather than a pale, nearly neutral beige. In bright daylight, Beige Intenso can read as a sandy buff, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its richer caramel-beige depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and hallways where a grounded wall color is wanted without moving into dark brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, natural linen, terracotta, or deep charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Beige Intenso
Beige Intenso has an LRV of 41.89% 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 41.89%, 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.
