Sherwood Tan

1054 / CC-336

Sherwood Tan is a warm, mid-depth brown with yellow-orange undertones that give it an earthy, grounded reading on walls. At an LRV of 37.31, it absorbs more light than it reflects and will darken in rooms with limited natural light, so testing in place is recommended. The warm base becomes more pronounced under incandescent bulbs, pushing it toward amber.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove for bright trim contrast, Manchester Tan for a lighter tonal step, Hale Navy for a cool counterpoint, Hunter Green for an earth-tone scheme, and Palladian Blue as a complementary cool accent.

Sherwood Tan in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
