What color is Sherwin Williams Softer Tan?
Sherwin Williams Softer Tan SW 6141 is a light, muted tan with a warm beige cast and a softly earthy appearance. Its #dacab2 color value keeps it pale enough for broad wall coverage while retaining more depth than a creamy off-white. In bright daylight, Softer Tan can read as a gentle sandy beige; under warmer evening bulbs, its golden-brown undertones become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, halls, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without a stark look. Pair this shade with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or deeper brown accents for a grounded, layered interior.

What are Sherwin Williams Softer Tan undertones?
Softer Tan is a light, muted yellow-beige with low saturation and a soft tan character. In the supplied digital sample, its yellow direction and slight red bias give it a warm cast that may read a little more golden or lightly peachy than a neutral beige. Sherwin-Williams lists it in the Yellow color family, which fits the visible yellow-beige base rather than suggesting a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial lighting may bring out its golden warmth, while cooler daylight can make it appear more restrained and beige.

LRV of Softer Tan
Softer Tan has an LRV of 60.2% 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 60.2%, 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.
