What color is Sherwin Williams Felted Wool?
Sherwin Williams Felted Wool SW 9171 is a muted medium greige with a noticeable earthy cast from its softened yellow-brown undertone. The #979083 color value gives it a low-saturation, weathered appearance rather than a crisp gray or creamy beige. In bright natural light, Felted Wool can read as a quiet warm gray, while incandescent lighting may bring forward its taupe-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of cooler gray. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or textured linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Felted Wool
Felted Wool has an LRV of 28.06% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 28.06%, 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.
