What color is Sherwin Williams Roycroft Brass?
Sherwin Williams Roycroft Brass SW 2843 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a dry golden-beige cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it grounded rather than bright, with subtle olive and earthy undertones that become more noticeable beside crisp white trim. In strong daylight, Roycroft Brass can read as a softened khaki brown, while lower light brings out its deeper, slightly smoky character. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior details where a substantial neutral is wanted. Pair it with warm off-whites, deep charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, and leather for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Roycroft Brass
Roycroft Brass has an LRV of 15.14% 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 15.14%, 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.
