What color is Sherwin Williams Pachyderm?
Sherwin Williams Pachyderm SW 9596 is a muted light greige with a soft beige cast and a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the gray influence gives the color a quiet, grounded depth. In bright daylight, Pachyderm can appear lighter and more stone-like; warmer artificial lighting is likely to bring its beige side forward. It suits living room and bedroom walls, as well as cabinetry when a softer alternative to crisp white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and charcoal or deep brown accents for clear contrast.

LRV of Pachyderm
Pachyderm has an LRV of 45.22% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.22%, 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.
