What color is Sherwin Williams Porpoise?
Sherwin Williams Porpoise SW 7047 is a deep, muted gray-brown with a noticeably warm, earthy cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it grounded rather than overly brown, while a slight olive-gray influence prevents it from reading flat. In bright daylight, Porpoise can show more of its softened taupe character; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a darker, weightier neutral. It suits studies, dining rooms, exterior trim, and cabinetry where a substantial neutral is wanted, especially alongside warm white walls, black hardware, medium oak, aged brass, and natural stone.

LRV of Porpoise
Porpoise has an LRV of 12.95% 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 12.95%, 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.
