What color is Sherwin Williams Browse Brown?
Sherwin Williams Browse Brown SW 6012 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast and a restrained rosy undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly red or chocolatey, giving the color a softened, weathered appearance. In bright natural light, Browse Brown can show more of its warm brown character, while lower light brings forward its charcoal-taupe side. It has enough depth for a dining room, study, or bedroom accent wall, and can also give cabinetry a grounded, matte-looking presence. Pair it with warm off-whites, dusty clay tones, black hardware, aged brass, and natural oak or walnut for a layered palette.

LRV of Browse Brown
Browse Brown has an LRV of 12.63% 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 12.63%, 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.
