What color is Sherwin Williams Malabar?
Sherwin Williams Malabar SW 9110 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm tan cast. Its soft blend of beige and subtle peachy-brown undertones keeps it from reading stark or gray, especially in rooms with warm daylight. In bright light, Malabar can look airy and lightly sun-washed; at night, it tends to settle into a deeper, cozier neutral. It suits living room and bedroom walls particularly well alongside ivory trim, natural oak, woven linens, and matte black or aged-bronze hardware. Use this color where a pale neutral is needed but plain white or cool greige would feel too sharp.

LRV of Malabar
Malabar has an LRV of 53.11% 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 53.11%, 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.
