What color is Sherwin Williams High Tea?
Sherwin Williams High Tea SW 6159 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a noticeable khaki cast and soft golden warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded rather than overly rustic, making it especially suited to studies, dining rooms, entryways, or cozy living spaces. In bright natural light, High Tea can read as a weathered tan-brown, while lower light brings out its deeper olive-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige upholstery, aged brass, walnut wood, or natural linen for a layered look. It has enough depth for cabinetry or an accent wall, though it can also create a cocooning effect across all four walls in a room with good daylight.

LRV of High Tea
High Tea has an LRV of 16.57% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.57%, 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.
