What color is Sherwin Williams Stone Lion?

Sherwin Williams Stone Lion SW 7507 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable gray cast and soft taupe undertones. Its low-key, earthy appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded neutral backdrop rather than a creamy beige look. In bright daylight, Stone Lion can appear lighter and slightly more greige, while warmer evening light brings out its subtle brown-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a calm, natural neutral is needed. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered wood, linen textiles, charcoal accents, or matte black hardware for contrast.

What are Sherwin Williams Stone Lion undertones?

Stone Lion reads as a mid-light, muted neutral with a clear beige-tan character and a soft orange-leaning warmth. Its low saturation keeps it from looking strongly golden or reddish, though it can show a subtle warm, earthy bias compared with cooler grays or greiges. Sherwin-Williams classifies Stone Lion as a neutral, which fits its restrained beige appearance rather than indicating a specific manufacturer-described undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its beige and orange warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear quieter and slightly more neutral.

Stone Lion has an LRV of 38.21% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of lightWhy LRV is important?

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 38.21%, 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.
