What color is Sherwin Williams French Roast?
Sherwin Williams French Roast SW 6069 is a deep brown with a noticeable red-brown cast, giving it more warmth than a charcoal or near-black neutral. Its low value makes it read as rich and grounded on walls, especially in dining rooms, studies, or compact powder rooms where a darker finish feels intentional. In strong daylight, the underlying chestnut warmth is easier to see; at night, it settles into a nearly blackened brown. French Roast is particularly effective on cabinetry, interior doors, or a fireplace surround paired with creamy off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, and natural walnut.

LRV of French Roast
French Roast has an LRV of 4.3% 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 4.3%, 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.
