What color is Sherwin Williams Brevity Brown?
Sherwin Williams Brevity Brown SW 6068 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a noticeable warm, reddish cast. Its earthy depth gives walls a grounded look without reading as nearly black, while lower light can make it appear deeper and more subdued. Use Brevity Brown in a dining room, study, or powder room where a fuller wall color feels appropriate, or apply it to cabinetry for a weighty contrast against lighter walls. It pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, and cognac-toned leather.

LRV of Brevity Brown
Brevity Brown has an LRV of 9.96% 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 9.96%, 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.
