What color is Sherwin Williams Canyon Clay?
Sherwin Williams Canyon Clay SW 6054 is a muted, medium-depth clay brown with clear reddish undertones and a softly weathered look. Its warmth reads earthy rather than orange, giving walls a grounded color that still has noticeable presence. In bright natural light, Canyon Clay can show more of its dusty terracotta-red cast, while lower light brings forward its deeper brown character. It suits dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, and exterior accents where a richer neutral is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, olive greens, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused interior.
LRV of Canyon Clay
Canyon Clay has an LRV of 12.73% 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 12.73%, 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.
