What color is Sherwin Williams Rivers Edge?
Sherwin Williams Rivers Edge SW 7517 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable brown base and softened gray undertones. It has the look of weathered river stone or dry clay, giving it more earthiness than a typical greige. In bright daylight, the gray side is easier to see, while warm lamps and late-afternoon sun bring out its brown, slightly sandy character. It can hold its own as a main wall color in a living room, study, or bedroom, especially alongside warm white trim and natural linen. Oak, walnut, aged brass, charcoal metal, and deep olive green all suit its grounded character. In a north-facing room, Rivers Edge may read cooler and a little deeper, so lighter furnishings and warm wood can keep the room from feeling too shadowy.
LRV of Rivers Edge
Rivers Edge has an LRV of 62.93% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62.93%, 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.
