What color is Sherwin Williams Natural Wool?
Sherwin Williams Natural Wool SW 9508 is a light, softly muted beige with the dry, slightly gray cast of unbleached wool. It reads warmer than a true greige, but its restrained undertone keeps it from looking yellow or overly creamy on large walls. In bright daylight, Natural Wool feels airy and natural; north-facing rooms may bring out its gentle gray-beige side, while lamps and late-afternoon sun make it look more oatmeal-toned. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways with oak, linen, woven jute, and aged brass for a layered neutral backdrop. Deep olive, dusty blue, charcoal, and clay-toned accents give this shade more definition without fighting its softness.
LRV of Natural Wool
Natural Wool has an LRV of 59.43% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 59.43%, 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.
