What color is Sherwin Williams Carriage Stone?

Sherwin Williams Carriage Stone SW 9614 is a muted medium-depth gray-brown with a soft, earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly brown, while the subtle warmth helps it feel less stark than a cool charcoal or slate gray. In bright daylight, Carriage Stone can show more of its dusty taupe quality; under warm interior lighting, it may appear deeper and slightly more brown. It is well suited to living room walls, studies, exterior trim, or kitchen cabinetry where a grounded neutral is needed. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, black metal details, and natural stone for a layered, restrained palette.

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 17.67%, 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.
