What color is Sherwin Williams Tavern Taupe?
Sherwin Williams Tavern Taupe SW 7508 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a brown-beige base and a softened gray cast. Its #9c8a79 color value gives it a grounded, earthy appearance rather than a pale beige or a deep brown. In bright daylight, Tavern Taupe can read as a light, dusty tan, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer brown undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a medium-depth neutral can add definition without making the walls feel heavy. Pair this shade with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep brown accents.

LRV of Tavern Taupe
Tavern Taupe has an LRV of 26.74% 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 26.74%, 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.
