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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 56.78%, 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.
