What color is Sherwin Williams Mesa Tan?
Sherwin Williams Mesa Tan SW 7695 is a muted, medium tan with a clear warm, sandy cast. Its blend of beige and soft clay-like brown keeps it from reading yellow, while the subdued saturation gives it a grounded look on large wall areas. In bright daylight, Mesa Tan can appear lighter and more golden-beige; under warm evening bulbs, it settles into a deeper earth-toned neutral. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, and exterior stucco particularly well, and can also add warmth to painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, black metal details, or dusty blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Mesa Tan
Mesa Tan has an LRV of 36.05% 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 36.05%, 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.
