What color is Sherwin Williams Dhurrie Beige?

Sherwin Williams Dhurrie Beige SW 7524 is a light, muted beige with a soft warm cast and a gentle tan-pink undertone visible in its #cabaa8 color value. It has enough grayness to keep it from reading bright yellow or creamy, giving walls a quiet, softened appearance. In bright daylight, Dhurrie Beige can look lighter and slightly sandier, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its subtle rosy-beige depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is needed without the starkness of off-white. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, clay-toned accents, and creamy white trim for a layered, restrained palette.

LRV of Dhurrie Beige

Dhurrie Beige has an LRV of 50.45% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 50.45%, 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.
