What color is Sherwin Williams Utaupeia?

Sherwin Williams Utaupeia SW 9088 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a clear brown-beige cast and restrained warmth. Its softened, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly tan, giving walls a grounded neutral presence. In bright daylight, Utaupeia can look lighter and more beige, while evening lighting tends to bring out its deeper earthy character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a substantial neutral is wanted without the darkness of chocolate brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal details, natural oak, aged brass, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused interior.

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 28.95%, 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.
