What color is Sherwin Williams Smokehouse?
Sherwin Williams Smokehouse SW 7040 is a muted, mid-depth brown-gray with a noticeable warm cast from its soft taupe and earthy brown undertones. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly rustic, giving walls a grounded, slightly weathered look instead. In bright natural light, Smokehouse can appear more like a softened warm gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its brown character. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and bedrooms where a darker neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, black metal details, natural oak, aged brass, and textured linen for a layered interior palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Smokehouse undertones?
Smokehouse is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Smokehouse
Smokehouse has an LRV of 13.03% 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 13.03%, 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.
