What color is Sherwin Williams Austere Gray?
Sherwin Williams Austere Gray SW 6184 is a light, muted gray with a soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, gently weathered appearance, especially in rooms with natural wood or textured fabrics. In cooler daylight, Austere Gray can appear more like a subdued gray-green, while warm bulbs may draw out its faint beige-olive warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, and can also make a restrained choice for exterior siding. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, pale oak, linen upholstery, or aged brass for a grounded palette.

LRV of Austere Gray
Austere Gray has an LRV of 51.21% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 51.21%, 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.
