What color is Sherwin Williams Quartersawn Oak?
Sherwin Williams Quartersawn Oak SW 2836 is a muted medium brown with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its softened red-brown undertone keeps it from reading flat, while the restrained saturation gives it a weathered, grounded appearance. In bright natural light, Quartersawn Oak can appear more like a dusty taupe-brown; warmer lamps tend to bring out its subtle clay-like warmth. It has enough depth for a dining room, study, or exterior trim, and it can also make cabinetry feel substantial without looking nearly black. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Quartersawn Oak
Quartersawn Oak has an LRV of 15.84% 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 15.84%, 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.
