What color is Sherwin Williams Anchors Aweigh?
Sherwin Williams Anchors Aweigh SW 9179 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and a muted, nearly charcoal level of depth. Its blue presence is noticeable without reading bright, while the gray keeps the color grounded and low in saturation. In daylight, Anchors Aweigh can show more of its slate-blue character; in lower light, it settles into a darker, inky gray-blue. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall where a darker backdrop feels intentional. Pair it with soft white trim, pale greige textiles, warm oak, black metal, or aged brass for contrast against its cool base.

LRV of Anchors Aweigh
Anchors Aweigh has an LRV of 3.38% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 3.38%, 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.
