What color is Sherwin Williams Chateau Brown?
Sherwin Williams Chateau Brown SW 7510 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm cast and a restrained reddish undertone. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly orange or chocolatey, giving the color a grounded, slightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, Chateau Brown can show more of its warm brown-red base, while lower light makes it appear darker and more shadowed. It is well suited to dining room walls, libraries, exterior trim, or cabinetry where a substantial dark neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, natural oak, or blackened metal for contrast.

What are Sherwin Williams Chateau Brown undertones?
Chateau Brown is a deep, very muted earthy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Chateau Brown
Chateau Brown has an LRV of 7.61% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.61%, 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.
