What color is Sherwin Williams Rustic City?

Sherwin Williams Rustic City SW 7699 is a muted golden tan with an earthy ochre cast and moderate depth. Its warm, softened color sits between camel and weathered straw rather than reading as a bright yellow. In direct daylight, this shade can show more of its sandy gold character, while evening light pulls it toward a quieter brown-tan. Rustic City suits dining rooms, studies, mudrooms, and exterior details where a grounded wall color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, aged brass, or natural oak for a layered, material-rich look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 34.64%, 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.
