What color is Sherwin Williams Birdseye Maple?

Sherwin Williams Birdseye Maple SW 2834 is a light, sun-warmed beige with clear golden and softly peachy undertones. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel heavy, especially in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms with natural wood furniture. In bright daylight, Birdseye Maple can read as a creamy honeyed neutral; under warm evening bulbs, its golden cast becomes more pronounced. Pair it with ivory trim, oatmeal linens, caramel leather, and medium-toned oak for a layered, earthy palette. For contrast, charcoal metal accents or muted blue-gray textiles keep this shade from leaning too yellow.

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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 58.38%, 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.
