What color is Sherwin Williams Serengeti Grass?
Sherwin Williams Serengeti Grass SW 9116 is a muted, earthy tan with warm beige and softly golden-brown undertones. Its mid-tone depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark or heavy. In bright daylight, Serengeti Grass can read as a dry, sun-warmed neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper taupe-brown side. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms paired with creamy whites, weathered wood, linen upholstery, and aged brass. This shade also has enough body for cabinetry or an exterior trim detail when balanced with lighter stone or off-white surfaces.

LRV of Serengeti Grass
Serengeti Grass has an LRV of 31.71% 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 31.71%, 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.
