What color is Sherwin Williams Ramie?
Sherwin Williams Ramie SW 6156 is a muted, medium-light beige with a sandy tan cast and gentle khaki warmth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright yellow, giving walls a grounded, natural look instead. In sunny rooms, Ramie can appear lighter and more golden-beige, while dimmer light brings out its quieter taupe side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms alongside creamy whites, warm gray-browns, aged brass, oak, linen, and woven natural-fiber accents. Use this shade on broad wall surfaces or exterior trim and siding where a warm neutral with more presence than off-white is wanted.

LRV of Ramie
Ramie has an LRV of 52.15% 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 52.15%, 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.
