What color is Sherwin Williams Universal Khaki?
Sherwin Williams Universal Khaki SW 6150 is a muted mid-light khaki with a soft blend of beige, gray, and subtle earthy brown. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the warm base gives walls more substance than a pale greige. In bright daylight, Universal Khaki can look lighter and slightly sandier; in lower or warmer light, its gray-brown side becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, halls, and bedrooms where a grounded neutral is wanted, and it can also hold up well on exterior siding. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and stone with warm beige or taupe variation.

LRV of Universal Khaki
Universal Khaki has an LRV of 40.48% 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 40.48%, 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.
