What color is Sherwin Williams Cast Iron?
Sherwin Williams Cast Iron SW 6202 is a muted charcoal gray with a noticeable olive-brown cast that keeps it from reading as a flat black. Its medium-dark depth gives walls definition without making them disappear, especially in rooms with ample natural light. In cooler light, Cast Iron can appear more graphite-like, while warm bulbs tend to bring out its earthy, greened undertone. It is well suited to cabinetry, built-ins, exterior trim, or a dining room where a darker color can frame lighter furnishings. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, and natural stone to complement its subdued, mineral character.

LRV of Cast Iron
Cast Iron has an LRV of 12.5% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.5%, 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.
