What color is Sherwin Williams Camelback?
Sherwin Williams Camelback SW 6122 is a warm, medium-light tan with muted golden-beige undertones. Its earthy color value keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, softly sun-baked appearance. In bright natural light, Camelback can appear lighter and more honeyed, while lower or cooler light brings out its subdued brown-beige side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, halls, and bedrooms where a warmer neutral is wanted without the pale look of cream. Pair it with off-white trim, warm wood furniture, aged brass, terracotta textiles, or deep olive and charcoal accents.
LRV of Camelback
Camelback has an LRV of 42.28% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 42.28%, 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.
