What color is Sherwin Williams Crooked River?
Sherwin Williams Crooked River SW 9524 is a muted mid-tone gray with an earthy olive-khaki cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and softened rather than noticeably green, giving walls a weathered, natural look. In bright daylight, Crooked River can read as a warm gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its subdued green-brown undertone. It suits studies, entryways, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a deeper neutral feels more substantial than pale gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Crooked River
Crooked River has an LRV of 18.5% 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 18.5%, 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.
