What color is Sherwin Williams Relaxed Khaki?
Sherwin Williams Relaxed Khaki SW 6149 is a muted, light-to-medium khaki beige with a gently warm, slightly earthy cast. Its softened yellow-brown base keeps it from reading stark, while the restrained saturation gives walls a quiet, lived-in appearance. In bright daylight, Relaxed Khaki can look like a pale sandy beige; under warmer lamps, its khaki depth and subtle olive-leaning character become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and home offices where a neutral wall color needs more presence than cream. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, charcoal accents, or dusty blue textiles for contrast.

LRV of Relaxed Khaki
Relaxed Khaki has an LRV of 50.48% 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 50.48%, 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.
