What color is Sherwin Williams Classic French Gray?
Sherwin Williams Classic French Gray SW 0077 is a muted mid-tone gray with a subtle warm, earthy cast rather than a sharp blue-gray look. Its low saturation gives it a softened, slightly weathered appearance that can read almost greige in warm daylight. In cooler or dimmer light, the gray becomes more apparent and a little deeper. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and exterior siding where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of a pale gray. Pair Classic French Gray with creamy whites, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal details, or stone surfaces with warm beige undertones.

LRV of Classic French Gray
Classic French Gray has an LRV of 24.18% 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 24.18%, 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.
