What color is Sherwin Williams Thunderous?
Sherwin Williams Thunderous SW 6201 is a muted medium-dark gray with a noticeable green-olive cast and a soft, earthy warmth. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overtly green, giving walls a weathered stone or shaded foliage effect. In bright warm daylight, Thunderous can show more of its olive undertone, while cooler light tends to pull it toward a deeper charcoal-gray. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is wanted without reading flat. Pair it with creamy off-whites, black hardware, natural oak, aged brass, and warm stone for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Thunderous
Thunderous has an LRV of 14.86% 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 14.86%, 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.
