What color is Sherwin Williams Tangled Twine?
Sherwin Williams Tangled Twine SW 9538 is a muted medium tan with a clear brown-gold cast. Its earthy warmth keeps it from reading gray, while the softened saturation prevents it from feeling overly yellow or orange. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its sandy, sunbaked character; under warm artificial light, it tends to deepen toward a fuller camel brown. Use it on living room or dining room walls for grounded color without the heaviness of a dark brown, or on cabinetry paired with creamy white walls. It looks especially at home with natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, charcoal accents, and deep olive green.

LRV of Tangled Twine
Tangled Twine has an LRV of 26.76% 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 26.76%, 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.
