What color is Sherwin Williams Townhouse Tan?

Sherwin Williams Townhouse Tan SW 7712 is a light, muted tan with a noticeable warm cast that leans softly toward beige and blush. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on full walls, while the gentle color presence gives more definition than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, Townhouse Tan can read as a creamy, sun-warmed neutral; in lower or warmer artificial light, its peachy-beige side becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and exterior trim where a quiet warm neutral is needed. Pair it with soft white ceilings, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or clay-toned accents for a layered, grounded look.

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 60.36%, 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.
