What color is Sherwin Williams Smokey Topaz?
Sherwin Williams Smokey Topaz SW 6117 is a medium, muted brown with a noticeable warm orange-tan cast. Its #a57955 color value gives it the look of weathered leather or sun-baked clay rather than a dark chocolate brown. In bright daylight, Smokey Topaz can read a little lighter and more golden, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper earthy presence. It makes a grounded choice for dining room walls, a den, or kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside creamy off-whites, soft beige, charcoal accents, and natural wood. Matte black hardware, aged brass, woven textiles, and terracotta-toned ceramics suit this shade particularly well.

LRV of Smokey Topaz
Smokey Topaz has an LRV of 22.42% 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 22.42%, 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.
