What color is Sherwin Williams Cargo Pants?
Sherwin Williams Cargo Pants SW 7738 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm khaki cast. Its soft yellow-brown undertone keeps it from reading like a plain gray or stark cream, while the subdued saturation gives it a gently weathered look. In bright daylight, Cargo Pants can appear lighter and more sandy; under warmer bulbs, its beige and tan notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and exterior siding where a pale neutral with more body than white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, medium oak, woven natural fibers, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Cargo Pants
Cargo Pants has an LRV of 55.75% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.75%, 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.
