What color is Sherwin Williams Bunglehouse Gray?
Sherwin Williams Bunglehouse Gray SW 2845 is a muted mid-tone gray with earthy beige and olive-brown undertones. Its softened, low-saturation character keeps it from reading like a stark concrete gray, giving walls a grounded, weathered look instead. In warm daylight, this shade may show more of its khaki warmth, while cooler light can bring its gray cast forward. Bunglehouse Gray suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, dark wood, black metal, or natural stone for a material-rich finish.

LRV of Bunglehouse Gray
Bunglehouse Gray has an LRV of 27.65% 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 27.65%, 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.
