What color is Sherwin Williams Craftsman Brown?
Sherwin Williams Craftsman Brown SW 2835 is a muted medium brown with a noticeable warm, clay-like cast. Its #ae9278 color value reads as a softened brown rather than a deep chocolate, giving it enough lightness for larger wall areas. In bright daylight, the warm beige and subtle rosy-tan notes may be more apparent, while lower light can make the shade feel earthier and more grounded. Craftsman Brown suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, or exterior trim where a substantial neutral is wanted without going very dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged bronze hardware, and textured linen or leather.

LRV of Craftsman Brown
Craftsman Brown has an LRV of 30.98% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 30.98%, 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.
