What color is Sherwin Williams Rushing River?
Sherwin Williams Rushing River SW 7746 is a muted, mid-tone gray-beige with a noticeable olive cast that keeps it grounded rather than overly cool. Its low saturation gives it a softly weathered look, especially on broad walls where the green-brown undertone becomes more apparent. In bright natural light, it can read as a light warm gray; under warmer bulbs, it shifts closer to an earthy khaki-taupe. Rushing River suits living rooms, entryways, and bedrooms where a restrained neutral is wanted without relying on plain beige. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, and textured linen for a layered, organic finish.
LRV of Rushing River
Rushing River has an LRV of 33.55% 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 33.55%, 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.
