Sherwin Williams

Smokehouse

SW 7040

Smokehouse is a deep, muted taupe from Sherwin-Williams with warm brown and gray undertones that produce an earthy, grounded character. At an LRV of 13, it absorbs most ambient light, lending substantial depth to walls without reading as black. The blend of brown and gray gives it a weathered quality suited to accent walls, cabinetry, built-ins, and smaller rooms such as dens or libraries.

It coordinates well with lighter warm neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein, Natural Linen, and Accessible Beige, and can be layered alongside deeper options like Urbane Bronze or Studio Clay for tonal variation.

Smokehouse 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.
