What color is Sherwin Williams Worn Khaki?

Sherwin Williams Worn Khaki SW 9527 is a muted, medium-light khaki with a soft olive-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and natural rather than overtly yellow or green. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a weathered sandy beige, while lower or warmer lighting brings its earthy olive undertone forward. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet neutral with more character than plain beige is wanted. Pair Worn Khaki with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, warm wood, aged brass, and woven natural-fiber furnishings.

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 33.54%, 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.
