What color is Sherwin Williams Ginger Root?
Sherwin Williams Ginger Root SW 9095 is a light, muted tan with a clear warm cast and soft peach-beige undertones. Its low-contrast, gently dusty appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow or orange. In bright daylight, Ginger Root can look like a pale sandy neutral, while evening or incandescent light tends to bring out its warmer clay-like notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a warmer alternative to standard beige is needed. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium warm woods, aged brass, terracotta textiles, or deep brown accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Ginger Root
Ginger Root has an LRV of 50.16% 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 50.16%, 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.
