Sherwin Williams

Relaxed Khaki

SW 6149

Sherwin-Williams Relaxed Khaki is a warm, muted beige with yellow-based undertones and a slight gray cast that keeps it from reading too golden. Its Light Reflectance Value of 50 places it at the midpoint of the reflectance scale, providing balanced brightness that works in most lighting conditions. This neutral tone is commonly used in living rooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a warm but subdued wall color is needed.

Relaxed Khaki pairs with Sherwin-Williams Dover White and Shoji White for a lighter tonal scheme, while Sable and Foothills offer deeper earth-toned accents, and Comfort Gray provides a cool complementary contrast.

Relaxed Khaki 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.
