What color is Sherwin Williams Half-Caff?
Sherwin Williams Half-Caff SW 9091 is a deep, muted brown with a warm, earthy cast. Its low-key blend of brown and soft gray gives it a grounded look rather than a sharp or heavily saturated one. In bright daylight, the color can read as a softened cocoa brown, while lower lighting brings out its darker, more shadowed character. Half-Caff suits studies, dining rooms, powder rooms, and accent walls where a substantial neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, black metal details, or natural oak and walnut finishes for an edited, layered palette.

LRV of Half-Caff
Half-Caff has an LRV of 7.95% 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 7.95%, 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.
