What color is Sherwin Williams Smoky Beige?
Sherwin Williams Smoky Beige SW 9087 is a muted, mid-light beige with a warm taupe cast and softly grayed saturation. Its dusty quality keeps the color from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, natural look rather than a crisp cream finish. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted. Smoky Beige pairs well with off-white trim, warm oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and clay-toned accents. On cabinetry, this shade can create a subtle painted-wood effect, especially alongside pale stone counters or matte black hardware.

LRV of Smoky Beige
Smoky Beige has an LRV of 40.23% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.23%, 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.
