What color is Sherwin Williams Studio Taupe?
Sherwin Williams Studio Taupe SW 7549 is a muted medium taupe with a warm beige-brown cast and a softly grayed finish. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly tan, giving walls a grounded, natural look rather than a yellowed one. In warm artificial light, this color can appear a little earthier, while cooler daylight brings out its quieter gray-beige side. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways with creamy whites, charcoal details, aged brass, oak, linen, and stone. Studio Taupe also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior trim color when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Studio Taupe
Studio Taupe has an LRV of 34.47% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 34.47%, 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.
