What color is Sherwin Williams Sanderling?
Sherwin Williams Sanderling SW 7513 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable gray cast and soft brown undertones. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, weathered-neutral look. In bright natural light, Sanderling can appear lighter and more greige, while lower light brings out its warmer taupe-brown side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without moving into dark brown. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen upholstery, and natural oak or walnut finishes.

LRV of Sanderling
Sanderling has an LRV of 31.38% 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 31.38%, 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.
