What color is Sherwin Williams Meadowlark?
Sherwin Williams Meadowlark SW 7522 is a muted medium brown with warm tan and subtle earthy-orange undertones. Its moderate depth gives walls more presence than a pale neutral while remaining softer than a dark chocolate brown. In bright daylight, Meadowlark can read as a dusty camel, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper brown character. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, and exterior trim, especially alongside creamy off-whites, weathered wood, black metal, and muted olive accents. Use this shade on full walls for a grounded look or on cabinetry and an accent wall where its warmth can stand out.

LRV of Meadowlark
Meadowlark has an LRV of 24.41% 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 24.41%, 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.
