What color is Sherwin Williams Best Bronze?
Sherwin Williams Best Bronze SW 6160 is a deep, muted brown with noticeable earthy olive and warm khaki undertones. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly orange, giving the color a grounded, weathered look rather than a sharp bronze effect. In brighter daylight, the brown and olive notes become clearer, while lower light brings out its darker, more shadowed side. Best Bronze can add depth to a study, dining room, or exterior trim, and it is especially effective on cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, charcoal textiles, or stone finishes with tan and gray variation.

LRV of Best Bronze
Best Bronze has an LRV of 8.55% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.55%, 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.
