What color is Sherwin Williams Superior Bronze?

Sherwin Williams Superior Bronze SW 6152 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a noticeable gray cast and gentle warm undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly golden or red, giving the color a weathered, grounded appearance on walls. In bright daylight, Superior Bronze can show more of its earthy brown character, while lower or cooler light brings forward its softened gray side. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and exterior trim, and can also add weight to kitchen cabinetry or a painted island. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, natural oak, aged brass, and stone finishes for a cohesive palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 14.78%, 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.
