What color is Sherwin Williams Slumber Sloth?
Sherwin Williams Slumber Sloth SW 9606 is a light, softly muted beige with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its warm taupe undertone gives the color a gentle, grounded look, while the low saturation makes it feel quiet and powdery on large walls. In bright natural light, Slumber Sloth can appear closer to a pale greige; under warmer bulbs, its beige side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a subtle neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair this shade with off-white trim, weathered oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or clay-toned accents for a layered, natural palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Slumber Sloth undertones?
Slumber Sloth is a light, very muted sandy beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Slumber Sloth
Slumber Sloth has an LRV of 56.24% 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 56.24%, 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.
