What color is Sherwin Williams Khaki Shade?
Sherwin Williams Khaki Shade SW 7533 is a muted, medium-light beige with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its softened brown and tan character keeps it from reading stark or yellow, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In bright daylight, Khaki Shade can appear lighter and more sandy, while lower light brings out its deeper taupe-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and exterior trim where a quiet neutral is wanted without the coolness of gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, or dark brown leather for a layered, material-focused palette.
LRV of Khaki Shade
Khaki Shade has an LRV of 44.32% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 44.32%, 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.
