What color is Sherwin Williams Weathervane?
Sherwin Williams Weathervane SW 2927 is a very deep brown with a near-black presence and a subtle warm, earthy cast. Its #2c201a value keeps the color grounded in low light, where it can read almost black, while brighter daylight reveals its brown undertone more clearly. Use Weathervane on cabinetry, interior doors, a fireplace surround, or a compact accent wall when strong contrast is wanted without the cooler look of true black. It pairs well with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, leather, and stone with tan or clay notes. On an exterior, this shade is best reserved for details such as shutters, doors, or trim rather than broad sun-exposed walls.

What are Sherwin Williams Weathervane undertones?
Weathervane is a very dark, very muted chocolate brown. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Weathervane
Weathervane has an LRV of 3.76% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 3.76%, 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.
