What color is Sherwin Williams Urban Jungle?
Sherwin Williams Urban Jungle SW 9117 is a muted, earthy taupe with a noticeable khaki cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation blend of warm beige, brown, and olive-leaning undertones keeps it grounded rather than golden. In bright daylight, Urban Jungle can read as a dusty warm neutral, while lower or north-facing light brings out its grayer, more subdued side. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and painted cabinetry where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of a dark brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen textiles, and natural oak for a layered, lived-in interior.

LRV of Urban Jungle
Urban Jungle has an LRV of 30.68% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 30.68%, 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.
