What color is Sherwin Williams Llama Wool?
Sherwin Williams Llama Wool SW 9089 is a muted medium brown with warm taupe and soft clay undertones. Its #917864 color value gives it an earthy, grounded appearance that feels deeper than a typical beige but lighter and less dramatic than chocolate brown. In bright daylight, Llama Wool can read as a dusty warm neutral, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its brown, slightly russet cast. It suits living rooms, studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms where a substantial neutral is wanted without using gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, black metal, natural oak, walnut, leather, and woven textiles. This shade is especially effective on walls or cabinetry when balanced with lighter trim and countertops.

LRV of Llama Wool
Llama Wool has an LRV of 20.32% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.32%, 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.
