What color is Sherwin Williams Tamarind?
Sherwin Williams Tamarind SW 7538 is a muted, mid-tone tan with a warm beige base and a noticeable earthy cast. Its softened brown-gold character keeps it from reading flat, giving walls more presence than a pale neutral without becoming heavy. In bright daylight, Tamarind can appear lighter and more wheat-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper sandy-brown side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining spaces where a grounded neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep charcoal, warm wood flooring, aged brass, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Tamarind
Tamarind has an LRV of 39.93% 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 39.93%, 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.
