What color is Sherwin Williams Landmark?

Sherwin Williams Landmark SW 9609 is a muted medium-depth brown with a softly weathered, gray-khaki cast. Its restrained warmth keeps it from reading flat, while the low saturation gives it an earthy, settled look on walls or cabinetry. In bright natural light, Landmark can appear lighter and more taupe-like; in dimmer rooms, its brown and subtle olive-leaning notes become more noticeable. It pairs well with creamy off-whites, blackened metal, natural oak, aged brass, and stone with warm beige or charcoal variation. Use this shade for a grounded dining room, library, mudroom cabinetry, or an exterior accent where a strong but not overly dark neutral is needed.

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 14.56%, 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.
