Sherwin Williams

Poolhouse

SW 7603

Wood Grain Brown is a deep, warm brown from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 10.69, indicating significant light absorption and a rich, saturated appearance on walls. The hex value #68554D shows its red-brown base, and noticeable warm undertones keep it from reading as a cool or ashy brown. Under natural daylight it holds its earthy, reddish-brown character, while warmer artificial light amplifies the red cast further.

Benjamin Moore Smoky Taupe and Coastal Path work as analogous warm companions, White Dove or Edgecomb Gray offer necessary value relief, and Hale Navy provides a strong cool counterpoint.

Poolhouse in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
