What color is Sherwin Williams Burlap?
Sherwin Williams Burlap SW 6137 is a muted medium tan with warm golden-beige and soft khaki undertones. Its earthy depth gives walls more presence than a pale cream, while its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow or orange. In north-facing rooms, Burlap may appear a little more subdued and taupe-leaning; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting bring out its sun-baked, golden cast. It suits living rooms, dining areas, entryways, and studies where natural wood, woven fibers, aged brass, and leather are part of the palette. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, or dark brown wood for grounded contrast.

LRV of Burlap
Burlap has an LRV of 31.62% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 31.62%, 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.
