What color is Sherwin Williams Homestead Brown?
Sherwin Williams Homestead Brown SW 7515 is a muted, medium-deep brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly earthy or red. Its low-saturation character gives walls a grounded, softened look, especially in living rooms, studies, and dining areas with natural wood furniture. In bright daylight, the gray-taupe side of this color becomes more apparent, while lower light draws out its deeper brown presence. Homestead Brown is especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, or an exterior front door when paired with creamy off-whites, warm stone, black hardware, and aged brass.

LRV of Homestead Brown
Homestead Brown has an LRV of 12.22% 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 12.22%, 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.
