What color is Sherwin Williams Sequin?
Sherwin Williams Sequin SW 6394 is a light, warm golden beige with a softly muted finish. Its #e1c28d color value suggests noticeable yellow and tan influence, giving it a sunlit, honeyed cast rather than a gray or pink-beige look. In bright daylight, Sequin can read clearer and more golden, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its mellow tan side. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, and entryways where a warm wall color can hold its own against white trim. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium wood tones, aged brass, linen upholstery, and natural woven textures.

LRV of Sequin
Sequin has an LRV of 56.75% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 56.75%, 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.
