What color is Sherwin Williams Lamb's Wool?

Sherwin Williams Lamb's Wool SW 9536 is a muted warm beige with a soft tan cast and gentle golden-brown undertones. Its mid-light depth gives walls more presence than a pale cream while keeping the overall effect light and grounded. In bright daylight, Lamb's Wool can read as a sandy neutral; under warm lamps, its golden warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, woven textures, aged brass, and off-white trim. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal brown, or a dusty blue-gray.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 47.89%, 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.
