What color is Sherwin Williams Dark Clove?
Sherwin Williams Dark Clove SW 9183 is a deep, muted brown with a softly warm cast and a grounded, low-saturation appearance. Its near-black depth can make it read as a shadowy brown in dim rooms, while brighter natural light reveals more of its earthy brown character. Dark Clove is well suited to library walls, dining rooms, exterior trim, or cabinetry where a substantial dark finish is wanted without the sharpness of true black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen to keep the surrounding materials cohesive. On a large wall, ample lighting and lighter furnishings help this shade retain definition.

LRV of Dark Clove
Dark Clove has an LRV of 5.06% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.06%, 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.
