What color is Sherwin Williams Buckram Binding?

Sherwin Williams Buckram Binding SW 0036 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm cast and soft sandy undertones. Its #d9c3a6 color value gives it a gentle tan presence rather than the sharper yellow look of some warm neutrals. In bright daylight, Buckram Binding can read as a pale buff beige, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its honeyed, slightly peach-leaning warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a lighter wall color is wanted without moving all the way to cream. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and deeper brown or terracotta accents for a grounded interior palette.

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).
