What color is Sherwin Williams Wheat Penny?
Sherwin Williams Wheat Penny SW 7705 is a medium-depth brown with clear warm clay and muted reddish undertones. Its earthy cast gives walls a grounded look without reading as overly dark, especially when balanced by ample natural light. In bright daylight, Wheat Penny can show more of its softened terracotta character, while evening lighting tends to bring out its deeper brown side. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, and exterior trim, and can also make a memorable cabinet color in a well-lit kitchen. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or woven materials for a layered, material-rich palette.

LRV of Wheat Penny
Wheat Penny has an LRV of 17.64% 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 17.64%, 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.
