What color is Sherwin Williams Kaffee?
Sherwin Williams Kaffee SW 6104 is a deep, muted brown with a clearly warm cast, sitting closer to weathered cocoa and dark wood than to a near-black espresso. Its restrained saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly red or orange, though warm light can bring out its earthy brown character. On walls, Kaffee gives dining rooms, studies, and dens a substantial backdrop, especially when paired with creamy off-whites, camel textiles, or aged brass. It also has enough depth for cabinetry, interior doors, or a single accent wall where a lighter trim can sharpen the contrast. Natural oak, walnut, leather, linen, and matte black hardware all suit this shade’s warm, low-key presence.

LRV of Kaffee
Kaffee has an LRV of 8.83% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.83%, 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.
