What color is Sherwin Williams Sycamore Tan?
Sherwin Williams Sycamore Tan SW 2855 is a muted mid-tone tan with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly golden. Its #9c8a79 value gives it a soft, earthy brown-beige appearance, with restrained warmth and a slightly weathered look. In bright natural light, Sycamore Tan can appear lighter and more taupe; in lower light, its brown-gray depth becomes more pronounced. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and halls where a grounded neutral is wanted without the pale look of cream or beige. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged bronze hardware, oak, leather, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Sycamore Tan
Sycamore Tan has an LRV of 26.74% 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 26.74%, 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.
