What color is Sherwin Williams Latte?

Sherwin Williams Latte SW 6108 is a muted, medium-light beige with clear warm brown and soft golden undertones. Its depth keeps it from reading as a pale cream, giving walls a grounded tan presence without becoming overly dark. In bright natural light, Latte can look lighter and more buff-toned, while evening light tends to bring out its warmer brown cast. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where wood furniture, woven textures, or aged brass are part of the mix. Pair this shade with warm white trim, medium oak, cognac leather, and muted olive or clay accents for a layered, earthy palette.

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 37.57%, 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.
