What color is Sherwin Williams Chatroom?
Sherwin Williams Chatroom SW 6171 is a muted, medium-light gray-beige with a noticeable earthy, khaki-like warmth. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly yellow, giving walls a softened neutral appearance rather than a crisp beige finish. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Chatroom can look more tan and gently golden; cooler light brings forward its gray cast. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without a stark white contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and stone or clay-toned finishes.

What are Sherwin Williams Chatroom undertones?
Chatroom is a mid-light, very muted khaki beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. 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 Chatroom
Chatroom has an LRV of 40.8% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.8%, 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.
