What color is Sherwin Williams Moth Wing?
Sherwin Williams Moth Wing SW 9174 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable gray cast and soft brown-beige warmth. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than yellow or overly brown, making it a useful neutral for rooms that need more depth than a pale greige. In bright daylight, Moth Wing can read as a quiet weathered beige-gray, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthier taupe side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery.

LRV of Moth Wing
Moth Wing has an LRV of 29.1% 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 29.1%, 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.
