What color is Sherwin Williams Van Dyke Brown?
Sherwin Williams Van Dyke Brown SW 7041 is a deep, muted brown with a clear warm cast and a softly earthy appearance. Its low-light value gives it substantial visual weight, reading almost like dark wood or aged leather in dim rooms. On walls, it can make a study, dining room, or powder room feel more grounded; on cabinetry or trim, it creates a strong contrast against warm whites and pale beige. Natural wood, cognac leather, brushed brass, and stone with tan or cream variation are especially compatible materials. In brighter light, Van Dyke Brown shows more of its brown character, while evening lighting brings out its darker, more shadowed side.

LRV of Van Dyke Brown
Van Dyke Brown has an LRV of 6.55% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.55%, 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.
