What color is Sherwin Williams Curio Gray?
Sherwin Williams Curio Gray SW 0024 is a muted, medium-depth gray with clearly warm brown and beige undertones. Its low-saturation finish gives it an earthy, slightly weathered look rather than a crisp or blue-leaning gray appearance. In bright natural light, Curio Gray can read as a soft taupe-gray, while dimmer rooms or cooler daylight may bring out its quieter gray side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral is wanted without going too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal details, aged brass, warm wood, leather, and natural stone for a collected, material-rich interior.

LRV of Curio Gray
Curio Gray has an LRV of 26.03% 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 26.03%, 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.
