What color is Sherwin Williams Muddled Basil?
Sherwin Williams Muddled Basil SW 7745 is a deep, muted brown-gray with an earthy olive cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded rather than overtly green, reading warmer beside cream and natural wood while appearing more charcoal-like in dim rooms. Use it on a study wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door when a dark finish is wanted without the sharpness of black. Muddled Basil pairs well with warm off-whites, aged brass, weathered oak, and tactile materials such as linen, leather, or stone. In brighter daylight, its subtle green-brown undertone becomes easier to notice, while evening light draws out its shadowy gray depth.

What are Sherwin Williams Muddled Basil undertones?
Muddled Basil is a deep, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Muddled Basil
Muddled Basil has an LRV of 8.62% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.62%, 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.
