What color is Sherwin Williams Outerbanks?
Sherwin Williams Outerbanks SW 7534 is a muted beige-tan with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its softened brown and taupe influence keeps it from reading like a plain cream, while the low saturation gives it a gently weathered appearance. In bright daylight, this color can look lighter and more sand-like; under warm interior lighting, its deeper khaki-beige tones become more apparent. Outerbanks suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and exterior siding where a medium-light neutral is wanted without a stark white or cool gray effect. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, woven textures, and charcoal or deep brown accents for contrast.

LRV of Outerbanks
Outerbanks has an LRV of 38.65% 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 38.65%, 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.
