What color is Sherwin Williams Castlegate?
Sherwin Williams Castlegate SW 9558 is a muted, medium-light gray with a faint cool blue-green cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading icy, while the slightly deeper value gives walls more presence than a pale silver gray. In bright daylight, Castlegate can look clean and gently mineral; under warm lamps, it may settle into a softer, more neutral gray. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a calm gray is wanted without a stark white backdrop. Pair it with crisp off-whites, charcoal accents, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a grounded, contemporary finish.

LRV of Castlegate
Castlegate has an LRV of 37.02% 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 37.02%, 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.
