What color is Sherwin Williams Burnished Brandy?
Sherwin Williams Burnished Brandy SW 7523 is a medium-dark brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #7c5c43 color value reads as softened brown rather than near-black, with muted reddish and golden notes that keep it from feeling flat. In bright daylight, it can show more of its warm brown character, while lower light gives it a deeper, more grounded appearance. Use Burnished Brandy on a dining room wall, built-in shelving, or cabinet base when the room needs visible contrast without the severity of charcoal. It pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, aged brass, cognac leather, and medium-to-dark wood finishes.

LRV of Burnished Brandy
Burnished Brandy has an LRV of 12.31% 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 12.31%, 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.
