What color is Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Gray?
Sherwin Williams Colonial Revival Gray SW 2832 is a light gray with a faint cool, blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. Its soft mid-light depth gives walls gentle definition while still reflecting a good amount of light. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly cooler; under warmer bulbs, it settles into a quieter neutral gray. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms where a restrained backdrop is wanted, and it can also give painted cabinetry a muted, low-contrast look. Pair Colonial Revival Gray with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen for a clear, grounded palette.

LRV of Colonial Revival Gray
Colonial Revival Gray has an LRV of 47.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 47.95%, 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.
