What color is Sherwin Williams Prospect?

Sherwin Williams Prospect SW 9615 is a deep, muted brown with a softened gray cast and subtle earthy warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly chocolate or red, giving it a grounded, weathered appearance instead. In bright natural light, Prospect can show more of its warm taupe-brown side, while dimmer rooms bring out its charcoal-like depth. It suits studies, dining rooms, exterior trim, and cabinetry where a dark neutral feels more organic than black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, stone, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 10.08%, 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.
