What color is Sherwin Williams Torchlight?

Sherwin Williams Torchlight SW 6374 is a clear golden tan with a noticeable orange cast, giving it the look of sun-warmed clay or natural honeyed wood. Its medium-light depth keeps it bright enough for larger wall areas, while the saturated warmth makes it more energetic than a muted beige. In direct afternoon sun, Torchlight can read brighter and more amber; under softer interior lighting, it settles into a richer ochre-gold. Use it in a dining room, breakfast nook, or entry where warm color feels intentional, or reserve it for a front door or accent wall. Creamy whites, deep olive greens, terracotta, dark brown wood, aged brass, and woven natural fibers are especially compatible companions.

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 47.94%, 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.
