What color is Sherwin Williams Cocoon?
Sherwin Williams Cocoon SW 6173 is a muted, earthy gray-brown with a noticeable olive cast. Its medium-dark depth gives walls a grounded look without reading as harsh charcoal or heavy chocolate. In bright daylight, Cocoon can show more of its dusty green-gray side, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its brown undertone. It suits studies, dining rooms, bedrooms, and exterior trim where a subdued natural color is wanted. Pair it with warm off-whites, blackened bronze hardware, aged wood, stone, or soft clay-toned textiles.

LRV of Cocoon
Cocoon has an LRV of 14.91% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.91%, 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.
