What color is Sherwin Williams Griffin?
Sherwin Williams Griffin SW 7026 is a muted, medium-dark gray-brown with a noticeably earthy cast. Its warmth comes through as soft taupe and brown rather than a strong red or yellow undertone, keeping the color grounded and restrained. In bright daylight, Griffin can read as a weathered warm gray, while lower or cooler light draws out its deeper charcoal-brown side. It has enough depth for a dining room, den, or exterior trim, and it can make cabinetry feel substantial without looking black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, charcoal textiles, or stone finishes with warm gray variation.

LRV of Griffin
Griffin has an LRV of 13.12% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.12%, 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.
