What color is Sherwin Williams Hickory Smoke?
Sherwin Williams Hickory Smoke SW 7027 is a deep, smoky brown with muted charcoal undertones that keep it from reading overly red or rustic. It has the weight of weathered hickory wood, making it especially effective on a study, dining room walls, built-in shelves, or a front door. In bright daylight, its gray cast is more noticeable; under warm lamps, it settles into a richer espresso-brown. Pair it with soft warm whites, natural linen, aged brass, pale oak, or veined stone to bring out its grounded character. On cabinetry or trim, this shade gives a room strong definition without the sharper contrast of black.

LRV of Hickory Smoke
Hickory Smoke has an LRV of 6.56% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.56%, 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.
