What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Amber?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Amber SW 2817 is a warm, medium-depth amber with a muted golden-orange cast. Its earthy brown base keeps the color from reading too bright, giving it a grounded, clay-like appearance on walls. In direct sun, Rookwood Amber can show more of its golden warmth, while lower light draws out its softer tan-brown side. It has enough presence for a dining room, entry, or exterior front door, and can also make cabinetry feel intentionally rich without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, aged brass, and natural woods such as oak or walnut.

LRV of Rookwood Amber
Rookwood Amber has an LRV of 28.93% 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 28.93%, 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.
