What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Brown?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Brown SW 2808 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps #5f4d43 from reading overly red or golden. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a dining room accent wall. In bright daylight, the brown appears softer and more earthy, while evening lighting brings out its charcoal-like restraint. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and stone finishes for a grounded, layered look.

LRV of Rookwood Dark Brown
Rookwood Dark Brown has an LRV of 8.09% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.09%, 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.
