What color is Sherwin Williams Dusty Heather?
Sherwin Williams Dusty Heather SW 9073 is a muted blue-gray with a clearly cool cast and a softened, lightly smoky appearance. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, the blue-gray character reads cleanly, while warmer artificial lighting can bring out its gentler gray side. Dusty Heather is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, or cabinetry where a restrained cool tone is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm ivory textiles to give the color contrast and warmth.

LRV of Dusty Heather
Dusty Heather has an LRV of 27.79% 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 27.79%, 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.
