Peppercorn review: Sherwin-Williams SW 7674
Peppercorn in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Peppercorn's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Peppercorn looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Peppercorn's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
warm charcoal, soft black cast.
A warm charcoal a shade lighter than Iron Ore; works well on cabinetry or an accent wall in a room with decent natural light, since its warmth keeps it from going as flat as a cooler black-gray would.
What to pair Peppercorn with
- White or Extra White trim, which keeps it from reading too heavy
- Brass fixtures to warm it up
