Sherwin Williams

Peppercorn

SW 7674

Peppercorn is a deep charcoal gray from Sherwin-Williams with softened blue undertones that keep it from reading as a flat black. With an LRV of 10, it absorbs the majority of light, making it effective for accent walls, cabinetry, exterior doors, and areas where strong contrast is needed. The cool lean in its base becomes more apparent when placed next to warm tones.

It pairs well with Pure White or Extra White for sharp contrast, balances against mid-tones like Repose Gray and Gray Screen, and complements muted greens such as Rosemary or Pewter Green.
