What color is Sherwin Williams Muslin?
Sherwin Williams Muslin SW 6133 is a light, muted beige with soft warm undertones that can read slightly sandy or peachy rather than gray. It has the look of unbleached natural fabric—gentle and earthy, but light enough to keep a room from feeling heavy. In bright daylight, Muslin tends to appear creamy and pale, while north-facing rooms may bring out its quieter taupe-beige side; warm lamps deepen its tan notes in the evening. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a warmer neutral is wanted on the main walls. Pair it with warm white trim, oak or walnut furniture, linen upholstery, honed stone, brass, and accents in deep green or terracotta.

LRV of Muslin
Muslin has an LRV of 74.2% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.2%, 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.
