What color is Sherwin Williams Tawny Tan?
Sherwin Williams Tawny Tan SW 7713 is a light-to-medium tan with a warm, muted peach-beige cast. Its #ccb299 color value gives it enough color to read clearly on a wall, while the softened saturation keeps it from feeling overly orange. In bright natural light, Tawny Tan can appear lighter and more biscuit-like; lower or warmer light tends to bring out its earthy, rosy warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, and entryways where cream trim, warm white fabrics, oak, walnut, leather, or aged brass are part of the palette. Use this shade across full walls for a grounded backdrop, or pair it with deeper brown, clay, and charcoal accents for added contrast.

LRV of Tawny Tan
Tawny Tan has an LRV of 47.2% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 47.2%, 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.
