What color is Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Stone?

Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Stone SW 2827 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a warm, weathered brown cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly beige, giving walls a grounded stone-like appearance instead. In bright natural light, Colonial Revival Stone can look like a softened sandy taupe, while dimmer rooms bring out its deeper brown-gray side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, and studies, especially alongside creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and charcoal accents. On cabinetry or exterior trim, this shade can provide quiet contrast without appearing too dark.

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 30.77%, 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.
