What color is Sherwin Williams Chamois?
Sherwin Williams Chamois SW 6131 is a medium, earthy tan with clear golden-brown and muted orange undertones. Its depth gives walls more presence than a pale beige, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright or coppery. In warm daylight, Chamois can show a sunbaked ochre cast; under cooler artificial light, it tends to settle into a grounded brown-tan. It suits dining rooms, studies, and entryways, especially alongside creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, and aged brass. Pair this color with walnut, cognac leather, woven textures, or terracotta accents to reinforce its warm, natural character.

LRV of Chamois
Chamois has an LRV of 25.94% 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 25.94%, 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.
