What color is Sherwin Williams Cool Beige?
Sherwin Williams Cool Beige SW 9086 is a light, muted beige with a softly weathered cast rather than a crisp cream appearance. Its #c6b5a7 color value suggests gentle warm beige and subtle rosy-tan undertones, kept quiet by a noticeable gray influence. In bright daylight, Cool Beige can read pale and airy, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its earthy, blush-beige depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a low-contrast neutral is wanted, particularly alongside off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass. Use this shade on full walls or cabinetry when you want the surrounding textures and finishes to remain the focus.

LRV of Cool Beige
Cool Beige has an LRV of 48.07% 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 48.07%, 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.
