What color is Sherwin Williams Downing Slate?
Sherwin Williams Downing Slate SW 2819 is a medium-depth blue-gray with a softly muted, mineral-like cast. Its cool blue presence is restrained rather than bright, while the gray base keeps it grounded on broad walls and painted cabinetry. In daylight, this shade can read a little clearer and bluer; under warmer bulbs, it settles into a quieter charcoal-leaning gray. Use it in a study, dining room, mudroom, or exterior trim where a darker neutral is wanted without the heaviness of near-black. Downing Slate pairs well with warm white, pale oak, brushed nickel, blackened metal, and stone surfaces with gray or blue notes.

LRV of Downing Slate
Downing Slate has an LRV of 20.76% 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 20.76%, 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.
