What color is Sherwin Williams Totally Tan?
Sherwin Williams Totally Tan SW 6115 is a medium-light tan with a clear warm, muted orange-beige cast. Its #cca683 color value gives it more presence than a pale cream, while keeping the saturation soft enough for broad wall coverage. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a sun-warmed sandy beige; under incandescent lighting, its caramel and peachy notes become more noticeable. Totally Tan suits living rooms, dining areas, and hallways paired with ivory trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. For contrast, use it alongside deep olive, charcoal brown, or a subdued blue-green.

LRV of Totally Tan
Totally Tan has an LRV of 41.89% 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 41.89%, 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.
