What color is Sherwin Williams Hushed Auburn?
Sherwin Williams Hushed Auburn SW 9080 is a muted, medium-toned rosy brown with a soft clay-and-taupe cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overtly pink, giving walls a quiet warmth without becoming heavy. In bright daylight, its dusty rose notes may appear clearer, while evening light can bring out its earthier brown base. Hushed Auburn suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms, and it also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with warm off-whites, mushroom gray, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, natural-looking interior.

LRV of Hushed Auburn
Hushed Auburn has an LRV of 26.38% 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 26.38%, 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.
