What color is Sherwin Williams Jute Brown?
Sherwin Williams Jute Brown SW 6096 is a grounded, medium-dark brown with a clear warm cast and muted earthy character. Its color value, #815d40, reads as a brown softened by subtle clay and caramel-like undertones rather than a near-black or cool espresso shade. In bright natural light, Jute Brown can show more of its warm, tawny side, while lower light gives it a deeper, more enveloping appearance. It suits dining rooms, libraries, and entryways where a substantial wall color feels appropriate, and it can also add weight to kitchen islands or built-in cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm sand tones, aged brass, natural oak, and woven textures to emphasize its organic warmth.

LRV of Jute Brown
Jute Brown has an LRV of 12.86% 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 12.86%, 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.
