What color is Sherwin Williams Sundew?
Sherwin Williams Sundew SW 7688 is a light, warm beige with a soft golden-tan cast and a gentle muted quality. Its warmth is noticeable without reading strongly yellow, giving walls a sun-washed, sandy appearance. In bright daylight, Sundew can look pale and creamy, while evening or warmer artificial light brings out its honeyed beige depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where a warm neutral backdrop is wanted, and can also soften cabinetry or trim when paired with a deeper wall color. Try it alongside off-white, clay, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or woven linen for a grounded material palette.

LRV of Sundew
Sundew has an LRV of 62.89% 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 62.89%, 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.
