What color is Sherwin Williams Interface Tan?
Sherwin Williams Interface Tan SW 6059 is a muted mid-tone tan with a noticeable warm, clay-like cast. Its softened beige base keeps it from reading too orange or too yellow, while the rosy-brown influence gives the color more character than a standard neutral. In bright natural light, Interface Tan can appear lighter and slightly sandy; under warmer lamps, its earthy warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and dining spaces where wood furniture, linen upholstery, aged brass, or terracotta accessories are part of the palette. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, deep brown accents, charcoal textiles, or muted olive greens for grounded contrast.

LRV of Interface Tan
Interface Tan has an LRV of 39.63% 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 39.63%, 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.
