What color is Benjamin Moore Sherwood Tan?

Benjamin Moore Sherwood Tan 1054 is a muted mid-tone tan with a warm, softly browned beige cast. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly golden, giving walls a grounded, natural look rather than a strong yellow-beige effect. In bright daylight, Sherwood Tan can appear lighter and more sand-like, while evening light tends to bring out its deeper caramel-brown side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a substantial neutral is wanted, and can also give wood cabinetry a mellow, earthy finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark bronze hardware, warm oak, leather, or charcoal accents for contrast.

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).
