What color is Sherwin Williams Oak Barrel?
Sherwin Williams Oak Barrel SW 7714 is a muted mid-tone tan with warm golden-beige coloring and a soft hint of clay. Its moderate depth gives walls more presence than a pale neutral without reading dark or heavy. In bright daylight, Oak Barrel can look lightly sunbaked and sandy, while evening lighting brings out its warmer caramel-brown cast. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, and hallways where wood flooring, linen upholstery, aged brass, or cognac leather are part of the palette. Pair this color with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, or deep brown stained wood for contrast.

LRV of Oak Barrel
Oak Barrel has an LRV of 38.76% 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 38.76%, 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.
