What color is Sherwin Williams Windswept Canyon?

Sherwin Williams Windswept Canyon SW 9010 is a warm, muted clay-peach with a noticeable terracotta cast. Its mid-light value keeps it from reading too heavy, while the soft brown-beige base gives the color an earthy, grounded look. In bright natural light, Windswept Canyon can appear lighter and more peach-toned; evening or warm artificial light brings out its deeper baked-clay character. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, powder rooms, or a sunlit living-room accent wall, especially alongside creamy whites, sandy neutrals, medium wood, aged brass, and natural linen. For cabinetry or exterior details, pair this shade with restrained off-whites and charcoal accents to keep its warmth in focus.

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 43.11%, 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.
