What color is Sherwin Williams Hopsack?
Sherwin Williams Hopsack SW 6109 is a medium-depth brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #9e8163 color value suggests a muted mix of brown and tan, giving it enough presence for a dining room, study, or entry without reading overly dark. In bright natural light, Hopsack can appear more softly sun-baked and tan; lower light is likely to bring out its deeper brown character. Use it on walls with warm white trim, cream upholstery, and natural wood for a layered, grounded look. It also suits painted cabinetry or an exterior accent when paired with stone, brick, or aged brass details.

LRV of Hopsack
Hopsack has an LRV of 23.85% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.85%, 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.
