What color is Sherwin Williams Nearly Brown?
Sherwin Williams Nearly Brown SW 9093 is a muted mid-tone brown with a warm, weathered beige cast. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading too orange, while the soft earthy undertone gives it enough color to stand apart from ordinary tan. In bright daylight, Nearly Brown can appear lighter and more taupe-beige; in lower or warmer light, its brown depth becomes more noticeable. It is well suited to living room walls, bedrooms, built-in cabinetry, or a dining space with natural wood furniture. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, and materials such as oak, linen, aged brass, or honed stone.

LRV of Nearly Brown
Nearly Brown has an LRV of 29.12% 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 29.12%, 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.
