What color is Sherwin Williams Antimony?

Sherwin Williams Antimony SW 9552 is a light, softened gray with a faint green-gray cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, powdery appearance, while the pale value helps smaller rooms feel open without turning bright white. In cool daylight, Antimony can show more of its subtle mineral-gray side; warmer bulbs may bring out its muted olive warmth. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas, especially alongside natural oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and off-white trim. For cabinetry or an exterior accent, pair it with deeper charcoal, muted forest green, or warm black for needed contrast.

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 57.23%, 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.
