What color is Sherwin Williams Rose Tan?
Sherwin Williams Rose Tan SW 0069 is a muted, medium-light rosy beige with a clear warm cast. Its #cd9c85 color value shows a softened blend of pink, peach, and tan rather than a bright or sugary rose. In daylight, Rose Tan can read as a warm clay-pink neutral, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its earthy beige side. It has enough color for a dining room, bedroom, or powder room wall, yet remains restrained enough to use across a larger space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, and charcoal accents for contrast, or use it alongside natural linen and terracotta-toned ceramics for a layered, grounded look.

LRV of Rose Tan
Rose Tan has an LRV of 38.32% 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 38.32%, 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.
