What color is Sherwin Williams Messenger Bag?
Sherwin Williams Messenger Bag SW 7740 is a muted olive-taupe with a noticeably earthy, gray-brown cast. Its mid-depth value gives walls substance without reading as overly dark, while the restrained green undertone keeps it connected to nature. In bright daylight, Messenger Bag can appear more khaki and softly olive; lower or warmer lighting brings forward its brown-gray side. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral feels more interesting than plain gray or beige. Pair it with warm white, charcoal, blackened bronze, natural oak, linen, and aged leather for a layered, material-rich look.
LRV of Messenger Bag
Messenger Bag has an LRV of 17.74% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.74%, 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.
