What color is Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray?

Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray SW 7044 is a medium-depth gray with soft taupe and beige undertones that keep it from reading cold or steely. It has an earthy, slightly dusty look—somewhere between weathered stone and a well-worn linen fabric. In rooms with ample daylight, it often appears like a warm greige, while north-facing spaces can pull out its quieter gray side; warm lamps bring forward more of its brown undertone. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms as a main wall color, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, walnut furniture, and linen upholstery. For more contrast, pair Amazing Gray with deep navy, forest green, black metal, or aged brass.

What are Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray undertones?

Amazing Gray is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Amazing Gray

Amazing Gray has an LRV of 46.89% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 46.89%, 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.
