What color is Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray?
Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray SW 7017 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable beige cast, giving it a soft greige appearance rather than a sharp, blue-leaning gray. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and easy on the eye, while the #aca79e value lends a gently weathered, stone-like quality. In bright natural light, Dorian Gray can read lighter and more neutral; in dimmer rooms, its warm taupe undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, hallways, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is wanted without a stark contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal details, natural oak, aged brass, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray has an LRV of 38.72% 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 38.72%, 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.
