What color is Sherwin Williams Sawdust?
Sherwin Williams Sawdust SW 6158 is a muted, medium-depth brown-beige with a dry, weathered look. Its warm gray and subtle khaki undertones keep it from reading overly golden, giving the color a grounded, low-saturation appearance. In bright daylight, Sawdust can appear like a softened tan, while lower or cooler light brings out more of its earthy gray-brown side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of a dark brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and woven linen textures.

LRV of Sawdust
Sawdust has an LRV of 25.99% 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 25.99%, 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.
