What color is Sherwin Williams Relic Bronze?
Sherwin Williams Relic Bronze SW 6132 is a medium-depth brown with a pronounced warm, golden-ochre cast. Its #906a3a color value gives it an earthy look that can read slightly more tawny in bright daylight and deeper, more brown in lower light. Relic Bronze suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, or exterior trim where a grounded color is wanted without going nearly black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted sage greens, clay tones, and natural wood for a layered palette. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, this shade brings clear color presence while still feeling connected to wood, leather, and aged metal finishes.

LRV of Relic Bronze
Relic Bronze has an LRV of 16.54% 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 16.54%, 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.
