What color is Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Tan?
Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Tan SW 2828 is a light-to-medium tan with a clear warm beige cast and a muted, softly earthy appearance. Its #d3b699 color value suggests gentle peachy-golden undertones rather than a gray or sharply yellow base. In bright daylight, Colonial Revival Tan can read as an airy sand tone, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its richer buff character. It suits living room, dining room, and hallway walls where a warmer neutral is wanted without using a dark brown. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, woven fibers, terracotta accents, or deep olive and charcoal details for contrast.

LRV of Colonial Revival Tan
Colonial Revival Tan has an LRV of 49.55% 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 49.55%, 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.
