What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Brown?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Brown SW 2806 is a medium-deep brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #7f614a value reads as a softened brown touched by muted orange and tan rather than a near-black espresso tone. In bright daylight, the color can show more of its clay-like warmth, while lower light gives it a deeper, more grounded appearance. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, interior doors, or exterior trim where a substantial brown is wanted without an overly dark finish. Rookwood Brown pairs naturally with warm ivory, sand-colored neutrals, aged brass, cognac leather, and medium to dark wood grains.

LRV of Rookwood Brown
Rookwood Brown has an LRV of 13.6% 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 13.6%, 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.
