What color is Sherwin Williams Favorite Tan?
Sherwin Williams Favorite Tan SW 6157 is a muted mid-tone tan with a warm, softly weathered appearance. Its #c1ae91 color value gives it a gentle beige-brown base that can read slightly golden in bright daylight and deeper, more grounded under warm evening bulbs. Favorite Tan is well suited to living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a noticeable neutral is wanted without the heaviness of a dark brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and woven linen for a layered, earthy interior. On larger exterior surfaces, this shade can also sit comfortably beside darker trim and stone or brick details.

LRV of Favorite Tan
Favorite Tan has an LRV of 43.78% 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 43.78%, 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.
