What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Medium Brown?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Medium Brown SW 2807 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm cast and a subtle reddish-umber base. Its mid-dark value gives walls or cabinetry a grounded presence without reading as near-black. In bright natural light, this color shows more of its earthy brown warmth, while lower light makes it appear richer and more shadowed. Pair Rookwood Medium Brown with creamy off-whites, soft clay tones, aged brass, natural oak, or stone finishes for a layered look. It is especially effective on built-ins, dining room walls, exterior trim, or an accent wall where its depth can be appreciated.

LRV of Rookwood Medium Brown
Rookwood Medium Brown has an LRV of 9.71% 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 9.71%, 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.
