What color is Sherwin Williams Flan?
Sherwin Williams Flan SW 6652 is a light, warm peach-beige with a soft apricot cast rather than a true neutral cream. Its gentle saturation keeps it from looking stark, giving walls a sun-warmed appearance that is especially noticeable in rooms with afternoon light. In cooler or shaded spaces, Flan can read more like a muted buff, while warm bulbs bring out its peach undertone. It suits bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and bathrooms where a pale color with more personality than off-white is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven textures, and muted clay or terracotta accents for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Flan
Flan has an LRV of 69.46% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69.46%, 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.
