What color is Sherwin Williams Tanglewood?

Sherwin Williams Tanglewood SW 9607 is a muted mid-tone neutral with a warm taupe cast, sitting between soft brown and weathered beige. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than golden, while the color value #9b8f7e gives it enough depth to show clearly on walls. In bright daylight, Tanglewood can read as a lightly dusty beige-gray; under warmer lamps, its brown undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without the contrast of a dark paint. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged bronze hardware.

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 27.97%, 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.
