What color is Sherwin Williams Nuthatch?
Sherwin Williams Nuthatch SW 6088 is a muted medium brown with warm, earthy undertones and a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly orange. Its #8e725f color value gives it a grounded, mid-depth appearance that can feel more taupe-brown in gentle daylight and a little richer under warm evening lamps. Use it on a dining room, study, or bedroom wall where a deeper neutral can add definition without becoming too dark. Nuthatch also has enough weight for cabinetry or a painted accent wall, especially alongside creamy off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, and charcoal details.

LRV of Nuthatch
Nuthatch has an LRV of 18.68% 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 18.68%, 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.
