What color is Sherwin Williams Alloy?
Sherwin Williams Alloy SW 9569 is a muted mid-tone gray with a gentle warm cast, softened by a subtle beige-khaki undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly brown or obviously cool, giving walls a grounded, quiet presence. In bright daylight, Alloy can appear like a softened weathered gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthier side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a darker neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, black metal details, linen upholstery, or stone finishes with warm gray variation.

LRV of Alloy
Alloy has an LRV of 25.46% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 25.46%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
