What color is Sherwin Williams Sugared Almond?
Sherwin Williams Sugared Almond SW 9537 is a muted medium tan with a clear warm, golden-brown cast. Its #b49d7b color value reads as an earthy almond beige rather than a pale cream, giving it enough depth to hold its own on full walls or cabinetry. In bright daylight, the color can appear softly sunlit and sandy, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper caramel-brown side. Use it in living rooms, dining areas, or kitchens with off-white trim, aged brass hardware, natural oak, and woven textures. Deep charcoal, olive green, and clay-toned accents provide grounded contrast without fighting its warmth.

LRV of Sugared Almond
Sugared Almond has an LRV of 35.28% 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 35.28%, 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.
