What color is Sherwin Williams Tigereye?
Sherwin Williams Tigereye SW 6362 is a warm, earthy orange-brown with a clear terracotta cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, while the #bb7748 value gives it a sunbaked look that can read slightly more golden in strong daylight and richer, rustier under warm lamps. Tigereye makes a confident choice for an accent wall, a dining room, or painted cabinetry where a deeper color can carry the space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural oak or walnut for a layered, material-driven interior. On an exterior, this shade suits doors or trim against light stucco, stone, or soft beige siding.

LRV of Tigereye
Tigereye has an LRV of 24.34% 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 24.34%, 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.
