Sherwin Williams

Porpoise

SW 7047

Porpoise is a deep, warm neutral that blends gray and brown into a dark taupe with slightly earthy undertones. At an LRV of 13, it absorbs most ambient light, making it a low-reflectance color best suited for accent walls, built-in cabinetry, exterior trim, or smaller rooms intended to feel enclosed. The brown-gray balance keeps it from reading as either a pure gray or a pure brown, and it holds its warmth under both natural and artificial light.

Porpoise coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for a lighter warm neutral pairing, Pure White for high contrast on trim, Morning Fog as a cooler mid-tone companion, and Canvas Tan for a layered earth-toned scheme.
