What color is Sherwin Williams Caramelized?
Sherwin Williams Caramelized SW 9186 is a medium warm tan with a muted caramel-brown cast and a noticeable golden-orange base. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too dark, while still giving walls more presence than a standard beige. In bright natural light, this shade can appear lighter and more golden; lower or warmer lighting draws out its earthy brown side. Use Caramelized in dining rooms, entryways, or studies where wood furniture, aged brass, leather, and woven textures can reinforce its warmth. It also suits cabinetry or a feature wall paired with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal accents.
LRV of Caramelized
Caramelized has an LRV of 35.35% 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 35.35%, 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.
