What color is Sherwin Williams Cloak Gray?
Sherwin Williams Cloak Gray SW 6278 is a deep, muted gray with a subtle cool violet cast visible in its #605e63 color value. Its low brightness gives walls a grounded, shadowed appearance without reading as black. In daylight, Cloak Gray can look like a softened charcoal gray, while warmer lamps may bring out a faint plum-like nuance. Use it for a study, dining room, bedroom accent wall, or painted cabinetry where a dark finish is wanted without a stark black effect. Pair this shade with soft off-whites, pale greige, light oak, brushed nickel, or matte black hardware for clear contrast.

LRV of Cloak Gray
Cloak Gray has an LRV of 11.35% 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 11.35%, 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.
