What color is Sherwin Williams Virtual Taupe?
Sherwin Williams Virtual Taupe SW 7039 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable brown-gray base and soft warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading too beige, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In brighter daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more neutral, while lower or warmer light tends to bring forward its earthy brown cast. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a medium-depth neutral can add definition without making the room feel dark. Virtual Taupe pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, oak furniture, and stone or linen textures.

LRV of Virtual Taupe
Virtual Taupe has an LRV of 20.32% 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 20.32%, 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.
