What color is Sherwin Williams Braintree?
Sherwin Williams Braintree SW 9595 is a low-chroma, medium-dark gray with a muted olive-taupe cast. Its softened yellow-gray undertone keeps it from reading like a cold charcoal, though it can appear more neutral and slightly deeper in dim rooms. On walls, Braintree brings useful definition to dining rooms, offices, and living spaces with natural wood or aged brass details. Pair it with warm off-whites, putty-colored textiles, black metal, and oak or walnut finishes for a grounded palette. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent where a near-charcoal color would feel too stark.

What are Sherwin Williams Braintree undertones?
Braintree is a midtone, very muted olive-brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Braintree
Braintree has an LRV of 12.41% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.41%, 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.
