What color is Sherwin Williams Tatami Tan?

Sherwin Williams Tatami Tan SW 6116 is a medium, muted tan with clear warm brown and soft orange undertones. Its #ba8c64 color value gives it an earthy, sun-baked appearance rather than a pale beige look. In bright natural light, Tatami Tan can read lighter and more golden, while lower or cooler light draws out its deeper clay-brown side. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and entryways where a grounded wall color is wanted, and it also has enough depth for an accent wall or painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood flooring, matte black hardware, aged brass, or olive-green textiles for a layered, natural-material palette.

LRV of Tatami Tan

Tatami Tan has an LRV of 30.26% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 30.26%, 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.
