Sherwin Williams

Griffin

SW 7026

Griffin is a deep warm taupe-gray with brown undertones, carrying an LRV of 13. It reads as a rich, earthy neutral that leans warm without appearing muddy, making it a functional choice for accent walls, cabinetry, and exterior trim. The brown influence is most evident under warm incandescent lighting, while cooler daylight brings out the gray base.

Griffin works well alongside Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Accessible Beige, Repose Gray, and Pure White, and pairs tonally with Urbane Bronze for deeper layered compositions.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
