What color is Sherwin Williams Weathered Shingle?
Sherwin Williams Weathered Shingle SW 2841 is a muted medium brown with warm taupe and earthy beige undertones. Its softened, low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly golden, giving it a slightly weathered gray cast in cooler daylight. On walls, Weathered Shingle can ground a living room, study, or bedroom without making the space feel as dark as a deeper brown would. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged bronze, linen upholstery, and natural oak for a layered, material-rich look. It also has enough depth for exterior siding or an accent wall where a quiet, earthy neutral is wanted.

LRV of Weathered Shingle
Weathered Shingle has an LRV of 22.37% 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 22.37%, 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.
