What color is Sherwin Williams Tree Branch?
Sherwin Williams Tree Branch SW 7525 is a muted medium brown with a warm, slightly weathered taupe cast. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly rustic, while the underlying warmth gives walls a grounded, lived-in look. In bright natural light, Tree Branch can appear softer and more taupe; under warm lamps, its brown undertones become more noticeable. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim, and can also create a substantial accent wall or painted cabinetry. Pair it with soft cream, warm off-white, charcoal, black hardware, and natural oak or walnut for a layered, earthy palette.

LRV of Tree Branch
Tree Branch has an LRV of 18.68% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.68%, 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.
