What color is Sherwin Williams Terra Brun?
Sherwin Williams Terra Brun SW 6048 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable warm red cast beneath its low-lit depth. At #5a382d, it reads as a substantial color rather than a near-black, holding its brown character even in shadowed spaces. Use Terra Brun on a dining room wall, library cabinetry, or a front door when you want a grounded, enveloping finish. In bright natural light, its warmer clay-like undertones are easier to see, while evening light can make it appear darker and more subdued. It pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, muted terracotta, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen.

LRV of Terra Brun
Terra Brun has an LRV of 5.16% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.16%, 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.
