What color is Sherwin Williams Alpaca?
Sherwin Williams Alpaca SW 7022 is a light, muted greige with a soft beige cast and a noticeable gray foundation. Its low saturation keeps it from looking overly tan, while the warm-leaning undertone prevents it from feeling stark or icy. In bright daylight, Alpaca can appear pale and lightly taupe; under warmer interior lighting, its beige notes tend to come forward. It is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan walls where a quiet neutral is needed without the crispness of a true gray. Pair this shade with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Alpaca
Alpaca has an LRV of 56.53% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 56.53%, 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.
