What color is Sherwin Williams Earthy Ochre?
Sherwin Williams Earthy Ochre SW 9532 is a muted golden-beige with a noticeable earthy yellow cast and a softened, slightly khaki-like character. Its mid-light depth keeps it from reading as a pale cream, giving walls more presence without becoming heavy. In bright daylight, Earthy Ochre can appear warmer and more sunlit, while lower or cooler light may bring out its subdued beige-green undertone. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways where natural wood, linen, leather, or woven textures are part of the palette. Pair this color with warm whites, deep brown accents, matte black hardware, and clay or olive-toned details for a grounded look.

LRV of Earthy Ochre
Earthy Ochre has an LRV of 43.07% 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 43.07%, 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.
