What color is Sherwin Williams River Reed?
Sherwin Williams River Reed SW 9534 is a muted, mid-depth earthy neutral with a weathered mix of brown, khaki, and soft gray. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly golden, while the underlying warmth prevents it from reading flat or cold. In brighter natural light, River Reed can show more of its dusty tan character; cooler lighting may bring out its grayer, slightly olive-leaning side. It suits living rooms, studies, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a substantial neutral is wanted without the darkness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, warm wood, stone, and deep green accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.
LRV of River Reed
River Reed has an LRV of 24.79% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.79%, 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.
